Over half a million people in the UK are living with heart failure, a debilitating condition with no cure where the heart is not pumping blood around the body efficiently. People with heart failure are usually under the care of their GP and...

Researchers at the University of Glasgow are using tiny injectable heart monitors to monitor the heart rhythms of people with heart failure. Part-funded by the BHF, the project will help doctors to understand how abnormal heart rhythms affect heart failure, helping to improve outcomes for patients in the future.

Latest NHS England waiting time figures show 230,278 people were waiting for invasive heart procedures and heart operations at the end of April – the highest number since the pandemic began.

Find out if catching up on sleep on Saturdays and Sundays could really lower your risk of heart disease.

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

Researchers we fund at Queen’s University, Belfast have been awarded are to investigate if a protein they have identified could be used to diagnose and treat heart failure patients

People with the condition essential thrombocythaemia (ET) have too many platelets in the blood and are at increased risk of cardiovascular events. This is because an excess of platelets can lead to excessive clotting and blockage of the ve...
