SLIDE 2

Working Party Remit

To design and execute new clinical research studies expected to benefit from collaboration among

several centres

To engage with stakeholders to secure funding for BIHS research studies
To consider individual research projects for BIHS 'endorsement‘
To 'adopt' studies in which at least one BIHS member/centre participates in delivery

Recently widened to include:

Peer review of new studies
Identifying priority areas for research
Supporting recruitment for studies via the BIHS network
Disseminating research results

SLIDE 3

Existing / Ongoing Research

TIME – Morning vs Evening dosing. Tom MacDonald is the PI
PATHWAY 4 – New studies following on from results from the PATHWAY (1-3) project
Resistant Hypertension Registry - as a resource for future studies and quality assurance
MATCH - Comparing ability of diagnostic testing with 11C - metomidate PET-CT and adrenal venous
sampling. The study is led by Morris Brown
Fibromuscular Dysplasia Registry - The main priority is to recruit any patient with FMD into the

national rare renal disease (RADAR) portfolio

SPIRIT - A study of a novel agent for resistant hypertension

New Research Initiatives

Dementia and BP lowering study with spironolactone Currently in planning stage.
Developing/supporting adherence studies The WP has already endorsed the MIRTH

(motivational interviewing in resistant hypertension study) pilot study for RfPB funding (awaiting outcome)

Studies into blood pressure control in special populations
Optimal BP target in patients on haemodialysis
Peri-pregnancy management of blood pressure
Treatment of young adults with hypertension

BHF Research Funding

Aim: Providing a forum for a collaboration between national societies with

an interest in Cardiovascular Disease

Consideration of ‘Networks of Excellence’ to establish cardiovascular

research priorities

Funding may be available to support suitable collaborative studies pooling

resources and ideas

BIHS proposals are being discussed
