SUMMARY:Cardiovascular disease: new ways to detect risk and improve outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Cardiovascular disease (conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels) accounts for around 1 in 4 deaths in the UK each year. \n  \nA person’s risk of cardiovascular disease depends on their blood pressure\, weight\, cholesterol\, smoking status\, family history\, and other factors. Identifying an individual’s risk allows preventative measures\, such as changes in lifestyle or taking medicines\, to reduce risk and improve health outcomes. \n  \nAn assessment of cardiovascular risk is part of routine care\, during the NHS Health Check\, for example\, but more can be done to optimise the identification of risk for the future. Join this webinar to learn about NIHR research on 3 promising new ways to identify people at risk of heart and circulation problems using information from clinical care that could enable intervention at an earlier stage leading to improved outcomes. Presentations will be followed by a Q&A session. \n  \nThis 1-hour online webinar will cover new tools to predict future cardiovascular risk including \n\na heart disease calculator.\nan AI-enabled ECG\nAI analysis of heart scans.\n\n  \nPresenters include: \n-Professor Julia Hippisley-Cox \n– Dr Fu Siong Ng \n– Dr Kenneth Chan \n  \nNIHR is the health and social care research arm of the nation. We drive life-changing research for the health and wealth of our society. BMJ Group are working with NIHR to maximise the impact of health and care research and strengthen collaboration with people and communities. \n  \n
