Short profile:
CORDA is a pioneering charity, dedicated to the early diagnosis and treatment of heart disease and stroke.
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death and disability in the Western world. Nearly half of us will die from the disease, usually by suffering a stroke or heart attack and probably without showing any symptoms beforehand.
CORDA was established to find a way of detecting the disease at an early stage by the use of fast, painless and non-invasive means and then to reverse the disease.
Detailed description:
CORDA is a registered charity that raises funds to support high quality clinical research into the prevention of heart disease and stroke. Heart disease is a major cause of death in the UK. We have sponsored vital research at several leading institutions in the UK and have particularly close links with Royal Brompton Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The research we fund has concentrated on using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to give early diagnosis of coronary heart disease. CMR is also being used to study arteries elsewhere in the body to help identify patients at risk, including adolescents and young people.
