CARDIOPROOF was a European-Commission FP7 funded project on congenital heart disease. LSE works alongside centres of excellence in cardiac treatment (German Heart Institute in Berlin; Great Ormond Street Hospital in London; and Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesù in Rome) and world leaders in engineering and simulation modelling. LSE’s role in CARDIOPROOF was to undertake a randomised controlled experiment to assess how novel, image-based technology may impact clinical decision-making for patients with congenital heart conditions.
