Cardiovascular & Metabolic Medicine
Summary
The Department of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine in the Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences is working to produce high-impact research with real translational and clinical benefit, to help tackle the challenge of Cardiovascular Disease in the North West, and beyond.
Cardiovascular Disease is a significant challenge to the North West of England, where figures show that the rate of deaths due to heart disease are most common.
The Department of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine, in partnership with the Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science, and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital Trust, are utilising a broad range of techniques and facilities to develop world-leading research to aid in tackling this challenge.
The Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science (LCCS) has been formed as a strategic research platform, bringing together world-leading research and clinical specialists in cardiovascular biology and medicine.
The team has successfully led changes in AF management locally, in the UK, and in European countries with different healthcare systems by promoting stroke risk assessment and enabling clinicians to initiate oral anticoagulation in an integrated manner.
Our Palliative Care Unit (PCU) is a multi-professional team that brings together research, educational and clinical expertise with the aim of improving end-of-life care around the globe.
