SignaCor Health is a research group in Queen’s University Belfast working on a new treatment for heart failure. This treatment stops the development of heart stiffness and enlargement, allowing the heart to pump more effectively. This is expected to relieve patients of the symptoms of heart failure affording better quality of life and longer life expectancies.

SignaCor Health Solution

Our drug stops heart stiffness and enlargement developing so relieves symptoms by halting the underlying condition. This means it extends life expectancies and improves quality of life for heart failure patients. In addition, it is only given for 8 weeks every year, reducing clinic visits. This gives patients more time to live normal and enjoy relatively clinic-free lives as well as reducing clinical care costs whilst maintaining high levels of patient care.
