Novel nanomaterial solutions based on metal and metal oxide for advanced diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases

心血管疾病占澳大利亚所有死亡人数的三分之一以上，预计将成为澳大利亚和世界范围内的主要死亡原因。目前，冠状动脉的动脉粥样硬化和血栓形成是通过X射线血管造影术诊断的，这是一种侵入性和风险相关的程序。我们的项目将探索新的造影剂，用于快速、可靠和安全地诊断心血管疾病和血栓事件，这对许多患者都是有益的。

Cardiovascular disease accounts of over one third of all deaths in Australia and is forecasted to become the leading cause of death in Australia and worldwide. Currently, atherosclerosis and thrombosis in coronary arteries are diagnosed by X-ray angiography, an invasive and risk-associated procedure. Our project will explore new contrast agents for the fast, reliable and safe diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and thrombotic events, which is beneficial to many patients.
