Funded Activity Summary

Heart failure (HF) is a common cardiovascular problem which causes disabling symptoms and reduces life expectancy. HF is the commonest cause or contributor to hospitalization in people over 65 years. For patients with advanced HF, survival is worse than that for aggresive cancers. At present, for patients with advanced HF and its complications, there are very few treatment options. Over the next 5 years I will conduct a comprehensive series of studies in animal models and in patients to develop new treatment options.
