"My advice to women and girls aiming to enter the field of medical research is to keep going and never give up." – Dr Angeliki Asimaki
To celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we spoke with BHF-funded researcher Dr Angeliki Asimaki, who works at Queen Mary University of London. Thank you, Angeliki, and all the incredible women funded by BHF who are working tirelessly to find the next breakthrough in cardiovascular research. Your dedication and passion are a powerful reminder of the significant contributions women make to science every day. ❤️ #HeartMonth #IDWGS #WomenInSTEM

In this video, Dr Sohail Abbas talks about the importance of keeping cholesterol at a healthy level. We need cholesterol for our body to function but too much can block your blood vessels and lead to heart disease.

Do you know your cholesterol levels? High cholesterol doesn't usually have any symptoms. If you have not had a test before and you're over 40, or have a family history of high cholesterol or heart problems, ask your GP for a blood test.
