New insights into cardiac microvascular dysfunction
Research led by Professor Kim Dora, Fellow & Tutor in Medicine, and Professor Raimondo Ascione at the University of Bristol offers new insights into cardiac microvascular dysfunction.
The work could help to develop new treatments to aid patients with angina-like symptoms without coronary blockages, or those recovering from a heart attack or unexplained heart failure. The research has shown abnormalities in the tiny blood vessels of human hearts in regions well beyond the large arteries with blockages that trigger the need for stents or bypass surgery.
The study is funded by the British Heart Foundation and is published in Cardiovascular Research.
