Funded Activity Summary

Heart failure is the inability of the heart to provide adequate blood to meet the needs of the body, leading to lethargy, breathlessness and an early death. The problem is increasing as the population ages and in Aboriginal peoples with high risk factor rates such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Effective treatment is available if diagnosed early. This study aims to assess who is most at risk so that effective strategies aimed at diagnosis and treatment can be formulated.
