Researchers we fund have shown that heart ‘patches’ grown in the lab are safe to move on to trials in people with hearts damaged after a heart attack, in research presented at the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) Conference in Manchester today.

We’ve selected our best healthy recipes to try this spring, whether you’re hosting a garden party or having a picnic.

We have awarded £28 million to seven university-led consortia to deliver the latest round of our 4‑year PhD programme. The funding will support 141 students to begin their 4-year PhDs between 2026 and 2029.

Hundreds of thousands of people across the UK are living with a silent, undetected threat in their hearts. That hidden danger is a heart rhythm disorder known as atrial fibrillation (AF). AF is not life-threatening, but it can cause adverse symptoms and lead to a poorer quality of life.

The British Heart Foundation, alongside 11 leading research funders around the world, is inviting researchers to compete in a new research challenge to address women’s cardiovascular health.

People living with diabetes could be set to benefit from a major research initiative to untangle the link between diabetes and heart disease – two of the most pressing global health crises.
