Cardiovascular frailty

Our multiprofessional research team are working on a programme of research funded by the NIHR and The Dunhill Trust.

We aim to analyse detailed cohort data alongside routine healthcare data to understand cardiovascular changes in later life in more detail, to inform cardiovascular frailty phenotypes and precision approaches.

This includes:

Cardiovascular disease in the context of multiple long-term conditions and frailty; Funded by the NIHR Exeter Biomedical Research Centre

Standing blood pressure and its association with cardiovascular disease and adverse events (STANDD); funded by the NIHR School for Primary Care Research

Understanding the causes and clinical implications of blood pressure decline in older age; Funded by the NIHR

Blood pressure and rehabilitation; Funded by The Dunhill Trust

Comprehensive geriatric assessment to sustain independence for older people living with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and frailty (CHART); Funded by the NIHR HTA
