This week I had my PhD viva and am relieved to have passed with minor corrections. 6 years in the making - an amazing feeling to have it (nearly) done! Thank you to my examiners Juan Pablo Kaski & peter swoboda and of course to my fantastic supervisors James moon & Gabriella Captur UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science

We've all heard this story.

A person goes for a stress test to ‘check their heart’ and is told they ‘passed with flying colours’.

The following week they have a heart attack.
