A major driver of FMD has been identified by a team of scientists incl our Director Prof @Kovacic_Jason. The @NatureCVR study could help lead to new treatments for the disease which effects ~5% of adults and can cause stroke, heart attack + kidney failure: https://www.victorchang.edu.au/news/caus...

From developing a test for sudden cardiac arrest risk, to shedding light on FMD, and better understanding causes of heart defects + miscarriage, 2024 was another big year for our scientists w research published in @Circ_Gen @ScienceAdvances + @NatureCVR: https://eprints.victorchang.edu.au/view/ye...
