MRFF News - Further $12 million for CV and Stroke Research

The Government, together with the National Heart Foundation, is announcing a further $12 million for research to improve treatment of people, including children, suffering cardiovascular disease and stroke.

This funding will be provided over four years, from the MRFF Cardiovascular Health Mission, to advance ground-breaking work on heart disease and stroke - the nation’s two biggest killers:

• The National Stroke Foundation will receive $4 million for research into better diagnosis and treatment of children who suffer stroke, (work to be done with The Murdoch), and
• The National Heart Foundation will receive $4 million from the Government, matched by $4 million from the Foundation itself, for research into four areas of clinical practice to improve identification and management of cardiovascular disease.
