Cardiovascular

The Cardiovascular Theme is driven by the high prevalence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the local community of 2.3M in North-West London. It is based on a strong track record of bench-to-bedside translational and impactful research from the UK’s largest grouping of cardiovascular scientists and clinicians. This theme embraces a convergent, multi-disciplinary science approach, engaging expertise across Imperial College, to solve challenging problems in cardiovascular healthcare. This recognises that patients differ in their presentation of cardiovascular disease and that cardiovascular disease can be part of a multi-morbid deterioration in health.

This Theme aims to identify the factors underlying the heterogeneity in the presentation of cardiovascular disease and optimise personalised healthcare through

  1. Deep molecular phenotyping to facilitate targeting of new and repurposed therapies
  2. Use of genomics and advanced imaging to enhance cardiovascular risk stratification
  3. Integration of devices for early detection to improve diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases.
