Heart Research Theme

Our heart research incorporates basic biology, integrative physiology, and translational and clinical research. Our groups have a diverse range of technical expertise including electrophysiology (basic and clinical), pharmacology (experimental and clinical), physiology (experimental and clinical), imaging (echocardiography, CT, MRI), epidemiology and clinical trials.

Our Principal Investigators are internationally recognised with work done into the mechanisms of disease, including in arrhythmias, congenital heart disease, coronary heart disease, heart failure and public health and also in pulmonary hypertension.

Our clinicians work in tertiary care NHS hospitals in Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board and also in the Golden Jubilee National Hospital which hosts the West of Scotland Heart and Lung Centre and the National Services in Adult Congenital Heart Disease, Advanced Heart Failure and Pulmonary Vascular Disease.
