Coronary artery disease is the build-up of fatty plaques in the vessels supplying blood to the heart. One way to measure the severity of coronary artery disease is to pass a tiny ‘pressure wire’ into the blood vessels of the heart to measur...

University of Leeds | Professor John Greenwood

Under current best clinical practice guidelines, people with suspected coronary heart disease (CHD) undergo diagnostic tests including imaging scans. For many this will include an invasive coronary angiogram where the doctor injects a dye d...

The cath lab, also known as catheter laboratory or cardiac catheterisation laboratory, is part of a hospital's cardiac department. Read what happens there.

Can additional tests help doctors decide how to treat patients with angina who don’t have a blockage in their coronary arteries? CorMicA aimed to find out.

Professor Vijay Kunadian tells us how her pioneering research aims to confront health inequalities.

Elderly patients suffering the most common type of heart attack may benefit from more invasive treatment, according to new research.

Computerised tomography (CT) scanning can be useful to help diagnose heart problems and how severe they are.

The BHF-funded RITA3 trial aimed to find out the best way of treating patients with a suspected partial blockage in blood flow to their heart.

Heart patients could benefit from less extensive interventions thanks to cutting-edge technology that creates 3D computer models of blood flow through the arteries that supply the heart muscle, according to research we’ve funded presented at the British Cardiovascular Society Conference in Manchester.
