About Oxford Cardiovascular Science
Researchers across Oxford are working together at the forefront of cardiovascular science, with the overall goal of translating discoveries from the laboratory though to clinical practice. Our researchers will apply new cross cutting technologies to develop cardiovascular imaging and phenotyping, drug development, cardiac computer modelling and stem cell & gene therapy.
We have outstanding experience in conducting clinical trials and epidemiological studies as well as state-of-the-art basic science and clinical research facilities. We are particularly proud of our ability to bring together molecular, epidemiological and physiological research to understand cardiac and vascular disease right from the molecular level all the way up to the wider population.
The British Heart Foundation is a key sponsor of cardiovascular research in Oxford and their two research centres offer scientists across the city fantastic opportunities for research & training, supporting the current and next generation of leaders in Cardiovascular Science.

Known risk factors for heart disease remain strong predictors for life expectancy
22 March 2024
Researchers at Oxford Population Health have shown that the known risk factors for heart disease remain strong predictors for life expectancy and risk of death from heart disease and stroke throughout a person’s lifetime. People with the lowest risk factors for heart disease may live for 12 years longer after the age of 50 when compared with people with higher risk factors. The study was published in Public Health.
