Comorbidity and lifestyle on the outcome of cardiovascular diseases

Aim:
To explore the effects of genetic and environmental factors on cardiovascular diseases.
Scientific rationale:
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. However, our understanding of the pathophysiology of CVD is limited. The advances in omics may facilitate a deeper understanding of the process and interaction involved in CVD.
Project duration:
Three years
Public health impact:
This project aims to provide more insights into the development and progression of CVD, which is crucial to establish more effective early intervention strategies and to reduce the CVD burden.
