Science and the Fight Against Heart Disease

Directly or indirectly, most of us will be affected by heart disease at some time, and it is the main cause of death in Scotland. But what causes a heart attack and how is science helping to defeat this killer disease? In the first of our 2014 Healthy Lunches series – in which we explore important health-related topics in vibrant lunchtime events – Dr Peter Henriksen and Dr Nick Mills, cardiologists at Edinburgh Heart Centre explore how scientific endeavour and research has driven our understanding of the causes of coronary heart disease and led to the selection of safer and better treatment.
