Project Details

Cardiac rehabilitation for the treatment of the Cardiac Syndrome X

Cardiac syndrome X (CSX) is different from coronary artery disease (CAD) CSX affects 20-30% of patients admitted to hospital with angina-like pains; it is characterized by exertional chest pain associated with ST-segment depression despite a normal coronary arteriogram (Kemp et al., 1973). The studentship has two primary aims: (i) to undertake a case-control association study in CSX for various markers of cardiovascular function, systemic inflammation, and stress; and (ii) to undertake randomized controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy of treatments available, such as cardiac rehabilitation (CR) physical training, educational programmes, drug treatments, and cognitive behavioural therapy.

About Our Research

Our research covers a broad range of health, biomedical, sports, exercise and performance science and behavioural sciences related areas. The quality and depth of the College's research has been demonstrated with its excellent set of results from the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. Over 70 members of staff from the College were submitted to the Exercise. The panels noted internationally excellent and indeed world-leading research activity in the three units of assessment in which entries were made (Health Services Research, Psychology, and Sports-Related Studies).

The College has sought to build on its long history in health and behavioural science related research with expertise spanning ageing and dementia, health services and management, chronic disease, brain disorder rehabilitation, cognitive and development psychology, randomised health trials, high performance physiology and psychology, and economic evaluation of public health and pharmacological initiatives. The College's commitment to world-class, scientifically rigorous research is evidenced by its substantial investment in laboratories and equipment in biochemistry, hydrodensitometry, cell biology, perceptual motor testing and fMRI brain imaging. Our research ethos is to advance both basic and applied science, challenge current thinking in the health and behavioural science domains while informing the College’s teaching and learning provision.
