01. The problem
02. Our vision
03. Our research
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.
CORE 02
Developing evidence & value-based clinical pathways for
early detection of coronary artery disease and prevention of
heart attack.
CORE 03
Discovering and testing game-changing therapeutics.
