Dr Alice Wood

Dr Wood is an interventional cardiologogist and was the Clinical Research Fellow on the UK SCAD research project between 2017 and 2021. Prior to this, she trained in London, Geneva and East Anglia.

She has been interested in coronary disease since she was an undergraduate and did a BSc project on accelerated coronary sclerosis in heart transplant patients.

As part of the SCAD project at Leicester she looked at sub-groups including male SCAD patients and those who have had a recurrence. She and the team also studied specific areas in more detail, such as the response to stress and to exercise.
