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

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
