Brief description Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of death and disability in Australia and worldwide. This burden will increase without new knowledge. We will address knowledge gaps that delay more effective prevention and control. Our team has a strong track record of influencing clinical practice of CVD prevention, treatment and technology transfer. For many, the first indication of a heart problem is sudden heart attack or death. By understanding mechanisms we aim to develop new tests and treatments that prevent heart attack, heart failure and other serious consequences of atherosclerosis.
