An Oxford University spinout led by RDM's Professor Charlambos Antoniades utilises standard CT scans to identify a potentially fatal build-up of plaques that could trigger a heart attack.
Researchers from our Department led by Prof Paul Leeson, in collaboration with researchers from Canada and the Universities of Bristol and London, have used advanced magnetic resonance imaging 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.
Prof Charalambos Antoniades, working with colleagues in Erlangen, Germany and at the Cleveland Clinic, USA, have developed a new technology based on analysis of computed tomography (CT) coronary angiograms that can flag patients at risk of deadly heart attacks years before they occur.
OCMR student Liam Young won first prize for best oral presentation at the postgraduate symposium of the British Chapter of ISMRM held in London last week (18/05/18).
OCMR's Dr Rina Ariga won first prize in the Young Investigator award at the British Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (BSCMR) conference in Edinburgh.
A multi-million pound, phase 3 clinical trial (EMPA-VISION) investigating a novel drug that could help failing hearts begins at the Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research (OCMR)
Congratulations to Prof Shoumo Bhattacharya who has secured a \u00a31m programme grant from the British Heart Foundation to further his research on the use of novel anti-inflammatories in cardiovascular disease.
Congratulations to Dr Adam Lewandowski, who has secured a five-year British Heart Foundation Intermediate Basic Science Fellowship to study the impact of premature birth on the heart.
The annual call for nominations for the Title of Associate Professor (AP) and University Research Lecturer (URL) has just been announced. These are prestigious titles within the University and we are working to ensure we are formally recognising the achievements of our staff.
The hearts of people born prematurely are less able to cope with the pressures of exercise in adulthood, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and part-funded by the British Heart Foundation and the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre.
The proportion of people experiencing heart disease and stroke who have five or more other health conditions quadrupled between 2000 and 2014, and the rise was not driven by age, new research by The George Institute for Global Health at the University of Oxford has found. The work was led by Prof Kazem Rahimi, Principal Investigator in the Radcliffe Department of Medicine.
Researchers from the University of Oxford are using artificial intelligence to improve diagnostic accuracy for heart disease. The team hope to roll out the system across the NHS later this year, helping to improve patient outcomes and saving millions is misdiagnoses. The research, led by Prof Paul Leeson and RDM DPhil student Ross Upton (Cardiovascular Clinical Research Facility), took place in the Oxford University Hospitals Foundation Trust and is the basis of spin-out company Ultromics.
The number of people being diagnosed with heart failure in the UK continues to grow, and the poorest people are significantly more likely to be affected by the condition, new research from The George Institute for Global Health at the University of Oxford has found. The research was co-led by Professor Kazem Rahimi, and RDM Principal Investigator.
