Clinical approaches to preventing cardiovascular disease [ 2016 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Clara Chow (Principal investigator)

Brief description Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disease burden globally. While many new treatments have been discovered in the last few decades to prevent CVD, surveys show many people do not receive these treatments. Dr. Chow is committed to using her skills as a cardiologist and a researcher to bridge this gap. Her program aims to identify novel, simple and scalable approaches to decrease the gap in preventative care and reduce the burden of CVD in Australia and beyond.
