As part of the Cardiovascular and Sport and Exercise Sciences group, we were ranked 1st in the UK for world leading 4 research in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF). Full description Our research, delivered under six themes, focuses on the function of the heart in health and disease, with additional activity in the area of skeletal muscle. From the level of the single molecule through to the function of the intact heart in vivo, complemented by multi-scale in silico modelling, we deliver world-class research with translational relevance. Exercise and the failing heart Heart failure is a complex syndrome with impairment of cardiac, respiratory, musculoskeletal and vascular function, all of which contribute to reduced quality of life and mortality. Exercise has established benefits in patients with heart failure but debate continues as to the most appropriate exercise modality.
