Combating cardiovascular disease

凯特·丹顿副教授是一位国际公认的心血管研究人员。丹顿博士研究的一个重点是找出为什么女性对目前的治疗效果不如男性，以及怀孕期间的因素（营养、压力、酒精）是如何导致后代患心血管疾病的。Denton博士还领导了一项研究，以了解为什么一种新的高血压治疗方法（阻断通往肾脏的神经）被证明比预期的更有效。

Associate Professor Kate Denton is an internationally recognised cardiovascular researcher. A focus of Dr Denton’s research is to find out why women do not respond to current treatments as well as men, and how factors in pregnancy (nutrition, stress, alcohol) drive the development of cardiovascular disease in offspring. Dr Denton is also leading research to understand why a new high blood pressure treatment (blocking nerves to the kidney) is proving more effective than expected.
