Cardiac resources


We fund bench to bedside

Dr Anna Pilbrow

DNA and genetics to identify risk of heart attacks and heart failure

Dr Anna Pilbrow is the recipient of the Heart Foundation’s inaugural Foundation100 Fellowship.

Her research aims to identify people at imminent risk of a heart attack by finding markers that may circulate in the blood.

It also seeks to establish genetic markers identifying people most likely to develop heart failure after a heart attack.

New pacemaker a ‘game changer’ for heart failure treatment

Dr David Crossman is investigating the benefits of a newly developed pacemaker that could potentially reverse the decline of failing hearts.

Unlike current cardiac pacemakers, which pace the heart at regular intervals, this new device modulates heart rate in response to breathing.

The pacemaker mimics heart rate patterns that are prominent in elite athletes.

Dr Sandra Hanchard

Inaugural Pacific Research Fellow enhancing discharge planning equity

Dr Sandra Hanchard was awarded the Heart Foundation’s inaugural Pacific Research Fellowship.

Her project on Equity-focused discharge planning for heart failure seeks to understand what equity looks like for discharge planning and how some disparities in outcomes for Māori and Pacific people develop.

 


Kaupapa Māori action research to reduce nutrition inequities

Erina Korohina was awarded a Heart Foundation Māori Cardiovascular Research Fellowship.

She’s using kaupapa Māori approaches to support whanau and communities to develop an approach to eating well that works for them in their environment and with resources that are easily accessible.
