The Cardiology Department at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is contributing to cutting edge research including several large international studies exploring new treatments and interventions across the spectrum of heart disease.
Areas of study
- Heart failure
- Aortic valve disease
- Coronary artery disease.
Current studies
Early valve replacement versus standard of care in severe aortic stenosis
This study is testing whether a new medicine that blocks the substance Endothelin to help improve blood flow in small heart vessels in people who have chest pain but don’t have major blockages in their heart arteries. Using heart scans and tests, researchers will check blood flow before and after four weeks of treatment to see if the medicine works.
This study will test whether taking sotagliflozin once a day helps people with heart failure and type 1 diabetes feel better in their daily lives.
The study will use a special questionnaire to measure how their heart condition affects their quality of life.
This study is testing a new medicine called Ziltivekimab to help people with heart failure and inflammation. Inflammation helps fight illness but can harm the heart if it lasts too long, causing heart failure.
