OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Don't go breaking my heart: unique pathways to cardiac dysfunction in psychosis and implications for clinical practice
People with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia die 15-years prematurely, mainly due to cardiac disease. Converging lines of evidence point towards a genetic overlap between psychosis, cardiac inflammation, and heart failure, with immune pathways implicated. However, there is also evidence for cardiac inflammatory effects of antipsychotics, the main treatment for people with psychosis. This talk will examine the unique pathways potentially contributing to cardiac dysfunction in people with psychosis, considering genetic, imaging, and pre-clinical data. The implications for clinical practice will be discussed.
