Disentangling the interrelationship between multimordibity, multimedicine use, and cardiovascular health [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Australians are living longer, but are also living with more health conditions and taking more medicines to treat those conditions. For people with cardiovascular disease (CVD), this is a problem as hundreds of non-cardiac medicines known to increase the risk of cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, or heart failure. We will take a holistic, patient-centred approach determine the true burden of CVD related to use of medicines to treat comorbid conditions in Australia.
