Questions about high blood pressure research? Ask the expert!
The public are invited to a webinar to ask questions of a leading heart specialist about the latest research into high blood pressure.
The University of Oxford’s Prof Paul Leeson will take questions in an ‘ask the expert’ event on Friday 12 November from midday to 12.45pm.
Guests must sign up in advance using this form where they can enter their question. They will also be able to ask their question during the event in the text box provided.
Those unable to attend can provide their email address to be sent a link to a recording of the event.
Prof Leeson, below, is Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and Head of the Cardiovascular Clinical Research Facility at the University of Oxford. He is also a Consultant Cardiologist at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital and runs the High Blood Pressure Clinic at the hospital.
His research group studies how lifestyle changes can treat high blood pressure and prevent more serious problems such as heart attacks and stroke. Researchers are also studying why high blood pressure develops in some young people, particularly those who develop blood pressure problems during pregnancy.
The event is hosted by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), a Department of Health and Social Care-funded organisation that works to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research.
It will be hosted on video conferencing service Google Meet, which can be accessed through a computer browser or the Google Meet app for devices.
