Molecular imaging and therapy of cardiac fibrosis in atrial fibrillation and heart failure [ 2017 - 2021 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Christoph Hagemeyer (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Julie Mcmullen

Brief description Cardiac fibrosis is a serious medical condition which can lead to an irregular heart beat and heart failure. We will develop novel diagnostic agents which are more sensitive and able to detect fibrosis of the heart at an earlier time point. This would allow timely initiation of therapy. In addition, we will investigate novel targeted anti-fibrotic agents to treat this devastating disease condition more effectively and with less adverse effects.
