Latest NHS England figures published today show that the number of people on cardiac waiting lists has risen to a record high of 392,698 at the end of May 2023 in England.

We have today announced the winner of our annual Reflections of Research science image competition. Showcasing the dazzling side of science, the competition asks BHF-funded scientists to highlight their cutting-edge heart and circulatory disease research with the most awe-inspiring picture taken as part of their work.
