Abstract

Professor Sudlow will work with these partners to link national hospital, primary care, mortality and Covid-19 test data with cardiovascular datasets and to make them this data available to approved researchers within national trusted research environments to address major questions: 1. What are the effects of cardiovascular diseases, their risk factors and medications on susceptibility to and outcomes from Covid-19 disease? 2. What is the direct impact of Covid-19 infection on acute cardiovascular complications and longer-term cardiovascular risk? 3. What is the indirect impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the government and NHS response to it on the presentation, diagnosis, management and outcomes of heart and circulatory diseases?
