Quest for Zero
Heart Attacks

CAD Frontiers is an Australian led, international team at the cutting edge of coronary artery disease research and clinical practice expertise.

One Australian suffers a heart attack every nine minutes.

Traditional risk factors such as smoking and diabetes help predict heart attacks. However, about 25% have developed silent coronary artery disease over years and have no risk factor “alarms”.

That's 160 Australians suffering heart attacks every day

Underpinning this is the need to discover new ways of detecting early coronary artery disease.

We have a vision: moving towards zero heart attacks.

If we can detect this plaque early, treatment can prevent progression and heart attacks are (almost) completely preventable.

Put simply, no plaque = no heart attack.

Our research

CAD Frontiers is an Australian led, international team at the cutting edge of coronary artery disease research and clinical practice.

We’re driving innovation to transform heart attack prevention across three core research areas:

CORE 01

Identifying blood based biosignatures.
