Cardiac matrix modulation by Platelet Derived Growth Factor to improve outcomes after myocardial infarction [ 1/1/2021 - 2/28/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description This project is directed towards improving the poor outcome in patients suffering heart failure. Whilst rates of some cardiovascular diseases are decreasing, heart failure incidence is rising significantly. Once end stage heart failure occurs, heart transplantation is possible but has several limitations including organ availability. This research into cardiac regeneration could potentially lead to a significant therapy for heart failure, thereby translating into life-saving outcomes.
