Oxford Heart Survey
Could you help improve the diagnosis of heart attacks by completing a new research survey?
A new research study that aims to explore heart health and improve the diagnosis of heart attacks is appealing for volunteers to complete an online survey.
This new research seeks to gain a more detailed understanding of heart attack symptoms and uncover potentially important differences in heart attack presentation between men and women.
The study is seeking men and women aged 18-85 years old (inclusive), who have had a heart attack in the last five years, to take part in a simple online survey.
While heart disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women in the UK, growing evidence suggests that women may experience more diverse, non-specific, and sometimes atypical heart attack symptoms, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
If you meet the criteria, please complete the online Oxford Heart Survey or email HeartSurvey@cardiov.ox.ac.uk.
The research study is sponsored by the University of Oxford, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Radcliffe Department of Medicine.
