Funded Activity Summary

Heart failure is a major clinical problem which is becoming worse as our population grows older and comorbidities such as obesity and diabetes become more prevalent. Current heart failure therapeutics largely delay disease progression. This research proposal focuses on strategies designed to improve function of the failing heart, as opposed to simply delaying disease progression. This approach will lead to the development of new therapeutics.
