Central blood pressure and cardiovascular risk in children within the general population and after repair of congenital heart disease [ 2018 - 2021 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Jonathan Mynard (Principal investigator)

Brief description With an exceptional research standing internationally, and as the leader of a Cardiovascular Bioengineering team, I am developing a new method for assessing central blood pressure in children that will provide better information about early risk of cardiovascular disease than arm blood pressure. This will be applied (1) in a large health study of Australian children and (2) to identify risks and causes of adult-type cardiovascular disease in children with repaired congenital heart disease.
