A new method to detect heart tissue that causes atrial fibrillationImperial College London | Professor Prapa Kanagaratnam
Supervised by Dr Prapa Kanagaratnam, a Clinical Research Training Fellow is testing whether a new method they have developed to detect areas in the heart that cause atrial fibrillation is accurate and that it identifies the correct areas of...

New magnetic resonance technology for the University of OxfordUniversity of Oxford | Professor Damian Tyler
Heart failure is a debilitating condition and can cause breathlessness, making it almost impossible for patients to do even simple exercise such as walking up stairs. During heart failure, changes occur in heart muscle. BHF-funded scient...

Can reducing blood pressure variability after a stroke improve outcomes?University of Leicester | Professor Thompson Robinson
Many people who have had a sudden (or acute) stroke have high blood pressure, which can fall several days afterwards. Currently, doctors don’t know the best way to manage blood pressure in these acute stroke patients. We need to understand ...

How do genes influence blood vessel cells related to heart and circulatory disease?University of Leicester | Professor Shu S Ye
Genetic variations are the differences in DNA among individuals. These differences mean that some people are more likely than others to develop heart and circulatory disease. There is evidence to suggest that some specific genetic variatio...

How does the age of a platelet change its function in heart and circulatory disease?Queen Mary, University of London | Professor Timothy Warner
Platelets are small cells that circulate in the blood. They stop bleeding from damaged blood vessels by rapidly sticking together and forming a blood clot, but if a clot forms at the wrong time it can be dangerous. Atherosclerosis is a dis...

How do proteins FPR2 and ALX mediate blood clotting?University of Reading | Dr Sakthivel Vaiyapuri
BHF-funded researchers in Reading are looking to understand what exactly happens during blood clotting, so that new medicines can stop its harmful effects while preserving the life-saving ones. Platelets are small circulating blood cells t...

Blocking inflammation in arteries to prevent heart diseaseUniversity of Strathclyde | Professor Robin Plevin
CXCL12 is a molecule that causes inflammation and has been linked to the development of heart and circulatory diseases. Researchers are now interested in whether they can stop it working in blood vessel cells and whether this might help pre...

How is oestrogen linked to pulmonary arterial hypertension?University of Strathclyde | Professor Margaret MacLean
Professor Margaret MacLean and colleagues at the University of Glasgow are studying why more women than men develop pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), but men die more quickly. In PAH, the pulmonary arteries (arteries of the lungs) ...

Do diseased hearts ‘deform’ in a different way to normal hearts?University of Oxford | Professor Vicente Grau
So the heart can pump blood and oxygen around the body effectively, its four chambers need to ‘deform’ and change shape. But when the heart muscle is damaged, such as after a heart attack, this process does not work and the heart does not p...
