Brief description This Centre proposes to expand its highly successful Centre of Clinical Excellence funded by NHMRC from 1998-2001. The Centre provided the opportunity in Western Australia for the highest quality clinical research training in comprehensive spheres relevant to the pathogenesis, prevention and therapeutics of cardiovascular disease, with an emphasis on the role of nutrition and lifestyle in relation to high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, dyslipidaemia and the function of blood vessels. The new Centre will broaden the scope of its research and training activities, through the inclusion of clinical projects related to heart failure, clinical and epidemiological research into cerebrovascular disease and stroke and research training opportunities with respect to clotting disorders and therapeutics for thrombosis.
