Cardiovascular Sciences is an area of strength within the College of Medical and Dental Sciences, as evidenced by the fact that 100% of our RAE 2008 submission in the area of Cardiovascular Medicine was considered internationally competitive or above, with 40% judged internationally excellent or world leading. Our diverse areas of strength range from platelet function to heart failure management in the community.
