Brief description Stroke is Australia's second single greatest killer and a leading cause of disability, with high blood pressure associated with a greater risk of stroke occurring. We have evidence of a possible new target, the angiotensin type 2 receptor that is protective in stroke. This proposal involves elucidating the mechanisms underlying this protective effect which may lead to new therapeutic strategies in treating stroke.
