Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the second highest cause of premature death in England and affects seven million people. It is also implicated in health inequality, and projects to improve outcomes in CVD care remain a priority for us.
Collaborating to tackle heart failure
Our CVD projects include scoping work to assess the viability of mass screening for heart failure.
Tackling cholesterol together
We’ve played a key role in raising awareness of the risks associated with high cholesterol.
From pilot to permanent: test for genetic heart condition
We’ve supported a specialist service to help identify and treat familial cholesterolaemia.
A medication optimisation pilot service for patients with cardiovascular disease
We’ve supported a pilot to improve medication for CVD patients.
We’re pleased to have worked closely with Health Innovation North West Coast who have supported us with their expertise and our work to ensure the service is now commissioned
