A Program of Research Addressing the Transition from Health to Advanced Cardiovascular Disease.

心血管疾病(CVD)是澳大利亚和世界范围内死亡和残疾的主要原因。在没有新知识的情况下，这种负担将会增加。我们将解决阻碍更有效预防和控制的知识差距。我们的团队在影响心血管疾病预防、治疗和技术转让的临床实践方面有着良好的记录。对于许多人来说，心脏问题的第一个迹象是突发心脏病或死亡。通过了解机制，我们的目标是开发新的测试和治疗方法，以预防心脏病发作、心力衰竭和其他严重的动脉粥样硬化后果。

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.
