Funded Activity Summary

One in three Australians are at risk of chronic kidney disease; however, these patients are more likely to die of heart disease. There is a need to identify markers in kidney failure patients to detect heart disease early. Unmasking cardiac risk factors by using change in cardiac biomarkers and echocardiographic parameters with exercise is novel. This will help the physician to diagnose _subclinical� cardiovascular dysfunction early, hence preventing cardiovascular mortality by institution of appropriate therapies.
