Funded Activity Summary

Interventional cardiology has reduced the mortality rate associated with heart attack, unfortunately the prevalence of heart failure has subsequently increased, caused in part by reperfusion injury of previously occluded vessels. We aim to identify novel insights into the pathogenesis of IR injury in the heart, as well as the development of new approaches to prevent cardiac damage during cardiac surgery, transplantation, post-angioplasty and coronary artery stenting.
