Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women worldwide yet women remain under-represented in #cardiovascular research.

A new @LindAlliance PSP is working with patients, carers and clinicians to identify the top research priorities for women’s heart health.

Have a question about women and heart disease that research should answer?
Share it in this short survey 👇

Patient input, supported by TADCT, has been vital to the design of the @EarnestTrial. Prof Bicknell speaks with Steve Perryman MBE about what patients need to know before taking part. If you’ve experienced an aortic dissection or know someone who has, support is available. https://t.co/QE9GPAqXWN

[Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust @AorticDissectCT]

We’re funding Aortic Specialist Nurses and Advanced Practitioners again in 2026, to improve outcomes and manage family risk. NHS Trusts can apply to establish or grow aortic services. Closing 30th April 2026. Apply at https://t.co/MTH1RRuuEL

[Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust @AorticDissectCT]

Prof Colin Bicknell, Consultant Vascular Surgeon at Imperial College, introduces the @EarnestTrial. Funded by the @NIHRresearch, this research will explore whether earlier treatment with a stent, rather than medication alone, could support better healing of the aorta and reduce future complications. Colin explains why this matters. https://t.co/QE9GPAqXWN

BBC DJ Bob Harris OBE shares his personal experience of a type B #aorticdissection. The shock of the initial event, the fear of recurrence, taking daily medication and learning to live confidently with the condition. Many patients share similar journeys. Could the @imperialcollege EARNEST trial help improve long-term quality of life? https://t.co/QE9GPAqXWN

[Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust @AorticDissectCT]

Around 1,100 people in the UK are diagnosed with a type B aortic dissection each year. Most are treated with medication and monitored regularly, rather than undergoing surgery straight away. The @NIHRresearch funded @EarnestTrial is now re-examining whether this approach is still the best option. @imperialcollege https://t.co/QE9GPAqXWN

Change is happening in Scotland. With the support of @neilcgray MSP and the @scotgov, our work to improve diagnosis, treatment and aftercare for #aorticdissection is gaining momentum.

At today’s Scottish Aortic Dissection Symposium, the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care recognises our shared commitment to improve outcomes through better data, consistent genetic screening and faster diagnosis.

Together, we are driving vital change in policy and practice to save lives across Scotland.
