Vascular Complications

Researchers from the Heart Research Institute (HRI) attended the 2024 Australian Vascular Biology Society (AVBS) Annual Scientific Meeting from October 16 to 18.

The Heart Research Institute (HRI) has launched the Centre for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), headquartered in the HRI facilities in Newtown, Sydney.

Congratulations to Assoc Prof Mary Kavurma and her co-authors for winning a 2024 Paul Dudley White International Scholar Award.

Congratulations to two of HRI's leading researchers, Prof Ben Freedman OAM and Assoc Prof Mary Kavurma, who were among the four finalists for the 2023 Australian Cardiovascular Alliance (ACvA) Mentor Award.

The Heart Research Institute (HRI) has secured more than $4.3 million of funding with the announcement of this year’s National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Ideas and Development Grants.

Delegates from across Australia gathered for the 2023 Sydney Cardiovascular Symposium, an annual event co-hosted by the Heart Research Institute (HRI) and the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute (VCCRI).

HRI members presented at the 71st CSANZ Annual Scientific Meeting, with Manisha Patil a finalist for the Ralph Reader Prize in Basic and Translational Science.

PhD student Manisha Patil presented the latest research on new avenues to treat peripheral artery disease at the European Society for Microcirculation.

Assoc Prof Mary Kavurma is raising awareness of peripheral artery disease, which is now affecting more women than men and also has greater risk of amputation and cardiovascular mortality.

HRI reviews the research and provides insights into where future efforts could be made to prevent limb amputation associated with peripheral artery disease.

The Heart Research Institute (HRI) is conducting a collaborative research project with the University of Cambridge to investigate new pathways to treat cardiovascular disease.

Dr Mary Kavurma has been awarded an Australian Cardiovascular Alliance Research Catalyst Grant for her research into peripheral artery disease.

The Heart Research Institute, in partnership with major NSW hospitals, universities, and other research institutions, is striving to unravel the deadly link between the coronavirus (COVID-19) and cardiovascular disease.

Every three hours, one Australian has a limb amputated due to cardiovascular disease.

Dr Mary Kavurma was awarded a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) grant for her research into stimulating blood vessel growth to bypass arterial blockages caused by cardiovascular disease.

Congratulations to HRI’s Research Assistant Manisha Patil for winning Best Poster Award by a postgraduate student at the 20^th Scientific Meeting of the Australian & New Zealand Microcirculation Society (ANZMS).

Congratulations to Manisha Patil, Bob Lee and Dr Richard Tan on receiving awards at the Australian Society for Medical Research (ASMR) Annual Scientific Meeting on Friday 31 May.

Congratulations to Dhanya Ravindran and Dr Lining (Arnold) Ju, who both took home awards from the 2018 Joint Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australian Atherosclerosis Society (AAS), Australian Vascular Biology Society (AVBS) and High Blood Pressure Research Council of Australia (HBPRCA), held in Glenelg, Adelaide, 27–30 November.

The HRI’s annual Illuminate event recognises the achievements of some of our best and brightest early career researchers in their work to fight cardiovascular disease.

The Heart Research Institute’s annual Awards for Excellence dinner, Illuminate, celebrated and recognised some of our most up-and-coming scientists, as well as the contributions of women to medical research.

The NSW Government has backed a bold new plan to become the premier state for heart disease with a $150 million funding package to fight the resurgence of the deadly condition.
