    The link between high blood pressure and a protein called apelin

    University 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 rhythms

    Imperial 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...

    Using magnetic resonance imaging to find out why diabetics get heart failure

    University of Leeds | Professor Sven Plein

    People with diabetes are at increased risk of developing heart failure, where the heart is unable to pump enough blood around the body. It is unknown why diabetics are prone to heart failure and which treatments can slow the progression of ...

    New MRI scans to help guide tests for arrhythmia

    Imperial College London | Dr Jennifer Keegan

    Doctors usually investigate and treat alterations in the heart’s rhythm – known as arrhythmias –using electrophysiology (EP). This involves passing flexible electrodes through a blood vessel and carefully placing them at specific positions ...

    Going inside the heart to make pacemakers benefit more people with heart failure

    King's College London | Professor Reza Razavi

    Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) is a procedure that’s commonly used in patients with heart failure, which occurs when the heart is not pumping blood around the body as well as it should. This happens most commonly when the heart mus...

  • Death rates - by local authority

    Our data below shows you the variation in age-standardised death rates between local authorities in the UK.

  • Death rates - over time

    Age-standardised death rate per 100,000 people. Death rates take the age structure (demography) of local areas into account to reveal the real differences in statistics. See our interactive and downloadable data below.

    Preventing heart failure by protecting the protein MKK7

    University of Manchester | Dr Xin Wang

    Manchester-based researchers are searching for ways to boost a natural heart-protecting protein to prevent or halt heart failure. Heart failure is a devastating condition, affecting hundreds of thousands of people in the UK. In heart fail...

    A clinical trial testing if a device can help reduce the risk of stroke during transcatheter valve replacement for aortic stenosis

    University 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...
