How good is the conduit function of the aorta? Here we propose a momentum-based metric allows for a non-invasive and robust characterization of inefficiencies with distinctive spatial and amplitude precision.

Kudos to Uxio Hermida! 🎓 🏆 King's Outstanding Thesis Prize winner! 🏆 🎓 Won after his hard PhD work to better understand the coarctation of the aorta, delivering insights to better predict its onset before babies are born, and providing a research prototype being tested in the clinic!

At the #ESCCongress 2025, Prof. @pablolamata.bsky.social (@kingscollegelondon.bsky.social) shared his vision of how computational models and #digitaltwins can transform procedure planning. Video-interview with PD Dr. Philipp Breitbart ➡️herzmedizin.de/fuer-... #Herzmedizinde #DGK

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes more than 1/4 of UK deaths. Continued support for research is critical to saving more lives. That's why I joined over 60 @TheBHF funded-researchers in writing to the Government urging them to prioritise CVD in the Life Sciences Plan www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/n...

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades

The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

How to measure what we cannot observe? By model fitting We have studied 1000's subjects from @ukbiobank.bsky.social and learned how electrical conduction velocity and cellular parameters are affected by sex, aging or obesity, and explain why these factors are linked to a higher cardiac risks.

The multi-disciplinary fun. One of the ingredients that I like the most of my job. Yesterday I disguised myself as a real doctor and witnessed the incredible orchestration that happens in the EP lab, this time led by Sandra Howell and Aldo Rinaldi

When you learn more from your PhD student than what you teach them – this is a joy! This is the case of David, who passed his PhD viva yesterday His proud supervisory team: @albertogomez.bsky.social, Arian Beqiri and myself Thanks to examiners Wenjia Bai & Yipeng Hu, and to funder @ultromics.com

bad news: the Trump administration’s attacks on science fit clearly and neatly into the authoritarian playbook good news: scientific and academic community has woken up to the threat and is starting to fight back by @chrischirp.bsky.social in christinapagel.substack.com/p/censor-pur...

Censor, purge, defund: how Trump is following the authoritarian playbook on science and universities

I have mapped 35 of the Trump administration's attacks on science and universities to the authoritarian playbook - and consider what it means for attacks still to come
