Earlier this year, the BHF Data Science Centre launched a call for funding to support studies on cardiovascular disease and/or diabetes and COVID-19, in collaboration with Diabetes UK and the BHF. We are pleased to say that many of the projects awarded funding have started in earnest, with some forming the first major steps of our Diabetes Data Science Catalyst.
This month we were joined Dr Anvesha Singh, Associate Professor in Cardiology at the University of Leicester, and Dr Stephen Kaptoge, Principal Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, who told us more about two of the projects.
Dr Stephen Kaptoge: the impact of COVID-19 on the association between Type 2 diabetes and incidence of cardiovascular diseases, with a focus on associations by age at diagnosis of diabetes.
Dr Anvesha Singh: understanding the sociodemographic trends in treatment of aortic stenosis, and the impact of COVID-19.
The webinar was chaired by Sarah Lessels, Research Project Manager.

The BHF Data Science Centre is a partnership between Health Data Research UK and the British Heart Foundation that works to deliver the data and data science needed to address some of the most important challenges in heart and circulatory disease research. The Centre works with a wide range of partners including patients, public, clinicians, researchers and NHS organisations to help them carry out research using health data into the causes, prevention and treatment of all diseases of the heart and circulation (such as heart attacks, stroke and vascular dementia).
