Talk about a tough choice. Of all thousands of advances our British Heart Foundation scientists make every single year selecting just one of them to become our ‘Research Story of the Year’ is the toughest of tasks - so I'm asking you to help us choose. You only need 60 seconds to vote for one of three incredible BHF funded scientists turning science fiction into reality to make a difference for patients, right now, to win a Heart Hero Award this year. From a ‘heart plaster’ to stop children needing repeat heart surgeries, a superhuman AI heart tool for the NHS, and correcting DNA mistakes that can cause deadly inherited heart diseases - each of them life are inspirational and life changing. Who will you vote for? Vote here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e5Pbb54t

Today is the day! A day 100 years in the making. A day filled with everything we have put into it: hard work, sweat, tears, determination, passion and heart. It is a day of joy. A day to celebrate science and research, volunteers and survivors. A day to celebrate all people everywhere whose lives we improve. A day to celebrate every member of the American Heart Association family. Today marks 100 years since the founding of the American Heart Association on June 10, 1924. CPR. Pacemakers. Heart transplants. Stents. Clot-busting drugs. Congenital heart defect repairs. Treatment. Prevention. Guidelines. Precision Medicine. Our organization has made all of them possible, and in doing so, we’ve cut cardiovascular mortality in half. Our Second Century will be a time of incredible breakthroughs, many unimaginable today, guided by our vision of “advancing health and hope for everyone, everywhere.” And we can’t wait to see where we’ll go and who we’ll be, 100 years from now.

Extremely powerful message for how to live your life. A must watch interview.
While Anthony's transplant lasted almost twice as long as predicted, he couldn't help but feel mad and disappointed when it failed. Still, he's not letting it keep him down. https://bit.ly/459UfV1

No one understands the patient experience better than families who have walked that road themselves. In December 2023, we launched the Patient and Family Seal of Collaboration, a program to identify and celebrate projects that incorporate direct input from families. In the first 6 months, we’ve already awarded the Seal of Collaboration to 8 projects – and there are more in the works! These include: • A Family Viewing Screen to see your spot in line for walk-in lab or radiology services. 🖥️ • A Roadmap to Discharge for heart patients. 🗺️ • A Rare Disease Research Agenda to prioritize projects that matter to families of kids with genetic conditions. 🧬 Learn more or share your idea here: https://cmkc.link/3VR5Bff

End of the EU-funded MeDiTATe project we have been working on in the last few years.
We are thrilled to announce the release of a new video showcasing the results of the MeDiTATe project, as it nears completion. Watch the video (link below 👇 ) to see how MeDiTATe is revolutionizing personalized cardiovascular care and the achievements of the Early Stage Researchers (ESRs)! 📺 💡 https://lnkd.in/gQaH8iB4

Walk the Talk: Current Evidence for Walking Recovery After Stroke, Future Pathways and a Mission for Research and Clinical Practice It was a pleasure presenting our work together with George Fulk, Sarah Moore and Natalie Fini (and thinking about Pierce Boyne) at a symposium at the World Congress of Neurorehabilitation in Vancouver 22-25 May. We presented key elements from our topical review published in #Stroke: https://lnkd.in/er6-P7Wr Achieving safe, independent, and efficient walking is a top priority for stroke survivors to enable quality of life and future health. Our narrative review explores the state of the science in walking recovery after stroke and potential for development. The importance of targeting walking capacity and performance is explored in relation to individual stroke survivor gait recovery, applying a common language, measurement, classification, prediction, current and future intervention development, and health care delivery. Findings are summarized in a model of current and future stroke walking recovery research and a mission statement is set for researchers and clinicians to drive the field forward to improve the lives of stroke survivors and their carers.

Epilepsy Day is a global health campaign observed annually on the second Monday of February. This year, it falls on February 12, 2024 and aims to raise awareness amongst the population worldwide to banish the stigma surrounding the neurological disorder characterized by seizures. If any of your family members or close relatives are experiencing seizures, loss of consciousness, extreme fatigue, a state of confusion and other signs of unusual behavior, consult with our team of neurologists and doctors at Medway Hospitals for precise diagnosis and timely treatment of epilepsy. https://lnkd.in/gw9prXXC #epilepsy #internationalepilepsyday #neurologicaldisorder #brain #trauma #medwayhospitals #medwayheartinstitute #medwayhospitals
🧠💜 Join us in celebrating International Epilepsy Day at Medway Hospitals! Let's embrace personal achievements with the theme 'Milestones on My Epilepsy Journey'. Share your successes, break the silence, and together, let's make a difference! 💜🎉 #EpilepsyAwareness #InternationalEpilepsyDay

Butterfly is already a pocket-sized tool for frontline response to suspected TBIs through measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter, and in general for whole-body assesmment following polytrauma. What will the future hold when further enabled with AI? Excited to see where our technology is headed in the years to come, for the benefit of everyone from patients in resource-limited settings to pro athletes to frontline soldiers embedded in conflict.
In light of Brain Injury Awareness Month we would like to share how our partners in the EU-based College of Remote and Offshore Medicine Foundation use Butterfly to assess potential brain injury in rural settings. With the aid of Butterfly's advanced imaging capabilities, clinicians can screen a patient with suspected intracranial processes to rapidly identify elevated optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), indicating potential brain swelling, and heightened intracranial pressure (ICP). Armed with this crucial information, clinicians can employ temporizing medication en route to the nearest facility equipped to handle such critical conditions. Pocket-based, cutting-edge technology like Butterfly, in conjunction with clinical expertise translates timely and effective patient care for those suffering from brain injury in remote settings. We are proud to be in partnership with those changing lives all over the world! 🦋
