Developing remote exercise support and rehabilitation for patients after spontaneous coronary artery dissection - a feasibility study Apr 1, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is increasingly recognised as an important cause of myocardial infarction (MI), particularly among younger women and has been linked participating in strenuous physical activity (PA). This can lead to psy...

Cardiovascular disparities among young adults in Scotland: Linking the Scottish Longitudinal Study from 1991 to 2011 Jul 1, 2018 - Dec 31, 2019
In this study, we aim to examine:
1. Trends in the prevalence of hospital admissions for CHD in young adults and compare them with older adults between 1991 to 2011;
2. Trend in the annual rates of major CHD events (non-fatal MI and CHD death) in...
