Addressing global gaps in knowledge about blood pressure treatmentUniversity of Oxford | Professor Kazem Rahimi
Advances in research have shown that reducing high blood pressure with medicines can prevent heart disease and stroke. But there remain several gaps in our knowledge, including how blood pressure treatment affects other health issues, and w...

Investigating how nerve cells protect the heart’s left ventricleUniversity College London | Professor Alexander Gourine
The brain controls how our hearts work by sending commands via specialised nerves, which produce rapid changes in heartbeat rate and determine how hard the heart needs to work, such as during exercise. Dr Alexander Gourine at University ...

The link between high blood pressure and a protein called apelinUniversity of Bristol | Dr Anne Marie O Carroll
Dr Anne-Marie O’Carroll is studying a protein called apelin to work out what role it plays in high blood pressure. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a major health problem but we don’t fully understand what causes it. Recently the...

Developing a realistic computer model of abnormal heart rhythmsImperial College London | Dr Emmanuel Dupont
Dr Emmanuel Dupont and his team at Imperial College London are testing a new computer simulation, which would allow researchers to study abnormal heart rhythms. To beat regularly, the heart contracts in response to complex electrical ci...

Do RIP proteins control life and death in heart muscle cells?University of Reading | Professor Angela Clerk
Professor Angela Clerk is studying how heart muscle cells die after a heart attack to identify points where we could intervene and prevent it. The team is studying a new form of cell death called necroptosis, which could be important in the...

A clinical trial testing if a device can help reduce the risk of stroke during transcatheter valve replacement for aortic stenosisUniversity of Oxford | Professor Rajesh Kharbanda
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a condition causing a narrowing of the aortic valve, restricting blood flow out of the heart. AS can be treated by replacing the damaged valve. This is done either by open heart surgery, or by a less invasive procedu...
