These are some of the misconceptions about CVD our @OzCvA Cardiovascular Champions 🏆 are set to change Watch out 🇦🇺 #ACvACVChamps @gemtreee @KerryDo75584546
Heart disease should not be seen as inevitable or self induced. Many individuals along with their family and friends are left asking “why”. Let’s band together to bring whole of pipeline solutions for early risk detection and prevention. Deepest condolences to friends and family

Women have generally worse outcomes after myocardial infarction (MI) compared to men. The reasons for these disparities are multifactorial. At the beginning is the notion—widespread in the community...

Medical research has never been so vital. EMCRs are cohort most likely to struggle to find funding – yet they are tomorrow’s scientific leaders. Without Government funding, we will lose them. Thanks @AAMRI_Aus for urgent call to action. @GregHuntMP @nhmrc @JaalaPulford @EMCRForum
Published today in The Australian, AAMRI President Prof Jonathan Carapetis talks about the rocky future of our early to mid-career researchers, made even more uncertain by COVID-19. Our govt must act now to ensure the careers of our best and brightest. https://t.co/Q1lYawUS4n

Check out Emerging Leaders Committee members @deanp_BP paper on cuff measured blood pressure. Cuff measured blood pressure does not accurately represent invasive (within the artery) measurements from the upper arm or heart. #research #healthcare 10.1016/j.jacc.2017.05.064
