Funded Activity Summary

Diabetes is a global epidemic with high mortality associated with heart failure. I propose a new hypothesis: diabetic heart failure reflects a progressive decline in heart pump efficiency due to an accumulation of large glycogen stores in heart muscle cells. This research aims to characterise the underlying causes of heart failure in diabetes and identify intervention potential to rescue function and prevent the progression into failure.
