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

21 May 2019 · Listed under Cardiovascular, 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 these microscopic heart muscle abnormalities have been spotted in living patients. … Read more

Study shows new technology can predict fatal heart attacks

28 August 2018 · Listed under Cardiovascular, Imaging

Researchers at the University of Oxford, supported by the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), have developed a new technology based on analysis of computed tomography (CT) coronary angiograms that can identify patients at risk of deadly heart attacks years before they occur. Heart attacks are usually caused by inflamed plaques in the coronary artery … Read more

Lifestyle factors linked to brain health of young adults

23 August 2018 · Listed under Cardiovascular, Imaging

Researchers at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital have used advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate whether factors such as blood pressure, fitness, smoking and alcohol intake during young adult life are associated with changes in the blood vessels inside the brain. The University of Oxford researchers, supported by the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, collaborated … Read more

Trust opens its doors to showcase innovation and history

14 September 2017 · Listed under Imaging

Oxford University Hospitals threw open its doors to the public on Friday 8 September to show visitors the latest in cutting-edge imaging technology at the John Radcliffe Hospital – and some of the Churchill Hospital’s wartime history. The four tours – two at each hospital – were part of the annual Oxford Open Doors event, … Read more

Oxford researchers develop new scan to predict stroke

24 August 2017 · Listed under Cardiovascular, Imaging, Stroke and Vascular Dementia

Researchers at the University of Oxford, supported by the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, have developed a new type of MRI scan to predict the risk of having a stroke. The non-invasive technique, developed with funding from the British Heart Foundation (BHF), is described in a paper published in the journal JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging. It … Read more

Oxford researchers develop new early warning scan for heart attacks

13 July 2017 · Listed under Cardiovascular, Imaging

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a new type of imaging test to provide an early warning of coronary artery disease, and the risk of heart attacks. The new imaging technique can be applied as a new feature in routine computed tomography angiography (CTA), and will improve the diagnosis and management of coronary … Read more
