Characterisation of sub-clinical cardiac dysfunction using novel cardiac exercise imaging [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Andre La Gerche (Principal investigator)

Brief description Heart failure is caused by heart muscle weakness and is associated with reduced quality of life and survival. Identification of heart failure in its earliest stages provides clinicians with an opportunity to institute preventative measures and prevent patients from developing symptoms. This project utilises novel ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging techniques performed during exercise to identify heart muscle weakness at its earliest stage.
