Introduction This four-part editorial series has been designed to navigate UK cardiology trainees and cardiovascular professionals through the pivotal stages of early career research. Beginning with an overview of how research can enhance a cardiologist’s career trajectory in Part 1,1 and moving through the identification of diverse research opportunities in Part 2,2 we have aimed to provide a comprehensive guide for those embarking on or considering a research path. Part 3 took a practical turn, shedding light on the roles of funders, sponsors, and regulatory bodies, while clarifying the often-complex terminology associated with research

Introduction This four-part editorial series aims to guide UK cardiology trainees and cardiovascular professionals through the key stages of early career research. Part 1 examined the role a period of research may play in a cardiologist’s career development,1 and part 2 explored how to identify the different research opportunities available.2 In this next part, we focus on the practical aspects of beginning your research journey; it explores the role of funders, sponsors, and regulatory bodies, as well as attempting to demystify the terminology associated with research logistics (online glossary). Glossary. Common terms in the research ap

Introduction This editorial series aims to guide cardiology trainees and cardiovascular professionals through the intricate landscape of research. Our objective is to demystify the process, from understanding the role of research in cardiology training, to navigating the practicalities of securing the right research opportunities. In this continuation, we delve deeper into the latter. The second part of this editorial series focuses on finding the right research opportunities in cardiology. Once the commitment to research is made, securing an appropriate post becomes a multi-faceted challenge, often complicated by the stipulations of local d

Introduction For those in cardiology training, finding research is often a daunting and multi-faceted process. The objective of this four-part series is to explore research in cardiology and will aim to serve as a reference point from finding the research, to applying for funding, straight through to the finish line (table 1). Although these editorials are targeted mainly at cardiology registrars and have a UK focus, they may be of interest to any medical or allied-health professionals looking to undertake research in the field of cardiology. The first part of this series aims to explore the role of research as part of cardiology training in

Founded in 1922, the BCS has developed over the years into a complex organisation that plays a pivotal role in the delivery of cardiovascular health across the UK. There are currently over 2,100 members of the BCS and membership is growing steadily to include the overwhelming majority of UK cardiologists and many other professionals with an interest in cardiovascular medicine. Our members include non-clinical scientists, cardiac surgeons, nurses, technicians and primary care physicians. We have over 300 trainee members and currently offer great value joint membership for BCS with the British Junior Cardiologists’ Association. BCS aims to su

The subepicardial myocardium is thin and normally compacted with a thicker non-compacted subendocardial layer in the anterior wall and apex. Note the artefact from the right ventricular (RV) pacemaker tip There are, however, justified concerns with regard to MINAP data relating to data quality and completeness of ascertainment. These concerns reflect, in some cases, difficulties experienced by some hospitals with data collection. Systematic differences between patients with and without information recorded may bias the estimated performance of a hospita
