New heart centre for Leicester hospital (UK)

"A new national £5.5 million research centre for heart disease is to be set up at Leicester's Glenfield Hospital. Thousands of local people will benefit from ground-breaking and life-saving research and treatment at the new centre. More than 100 doctors and scientists will be involved in the work which will be carried out there and 15 jobs will be created. Key areas of research will include looking into the genetics and inheritance of heart disease, as well as studies of high blood pressure. Researchers will also work on the introduction of new treatments, including different types of cardiac stents - used to keep arteries open when a patient has undergone a procedure to clear blockages. The centre will have an outpatient suite which will be just inside the main entrance at Glenfield Hospital - which is already ranked among the best in Britain for its cardiac surgery." - This is Leicester
