What We Do

Established in 2022 with funding from Health and Care Research Wales, the National Cardiovascular Research Network (NCRN) is an interdisciplinary network connecting academics, clinicians, health professionals, industry, and charities.

Our mission is to enhance cardiovascular research across Wales by building partnerships and driving vital research. At its core, the NCRN is patient and public-focused, embedding lived experiences into innovative research and knowledge-sharing programmes.

Our areas of focus are prevention (using new knowledge to prevent cardiovascular disease), diagnosis (advanced methodologies for early detection of disease) and treatment (developing new therapeutic approaches for heart and circulatory disease).
