Our online series of Live & Ticking webinars keep you updated with the latest British Heart Foundation (BHF) funded science taking place across the UK.

Yianna Theodorou - BHF Senior Research Engagement Officer helps to navigate through Chris’ story.
Dr Peter Swoboda - Consultant Cardiologist and Associate Professor in Cardiology at University of Leeds discusses his research which aims to discover the best way to diagnose patients with chest pain, and whether taking a more personalised care approach might lead to better health outcomes and improved quality of life.
