[Lead] Prof Thomas Marwick [Institution] University of Queensland [Description] This multidisciplinary group will undertake a series of unique studies aimed at understanding and preventing early cardiovascular complications of several metabolic conditions. Sensitive new cardiovascular imaging techniques will be used to detect preclinical abnormalities in the structure, function and metabolism of the heart and vasculature, facilitating the development of new strategies of exercise and lifestyle intervention to prevent these complications. While built on the successful current CCRE in Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease, including multidisciplinary clinical research training, the new application involves major new directions in the interface between the liver and metabolic syndrome, and strategies for community-based prevention programs.
