The NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) has allocated funding to three COVID-19 research projects in an attempt to improve treatment, understand how the virus interacts with chronic diseases, and the longer-term effects of infection on organs. The funding, originally earmarked for BRC ... READ MORE

New approach to reducing damage after a heart attack

16 July 2019 · Listed under Cardiovascular Medicine, Imaging, Other News

During the emergency procedure used to reopen the blocked artery that has caused a heart attack, smaller ‘micro’ blood vessels can remain constricted, causing significant damage, according to a new study. The research by Associate Professor Neil Herring of the University of Oxford’s Department of ... READ MORE

Oxford researchers spot tell-tale signs of potentially fatal cardiac condition

21 May 2019 · Listed under Cardiovascular Medicine, Imaging

Researchers in Oxford have employed a technique more commonly used in brain imaging to identify the tell-tale signs of the potentially fatal heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young people. This Oxford BRC-supported study is the first time ... READ MORE

Study shows new technology can predict fatal heart attacks

28 August 2018 · Listed under Cardiovascular Medicine, Imaging
