Center receives grant renewal for hypertension and vascular disease studies
Date:7/2/2009

ure clinic, early screening and management of peripheral artery disease.

The renewed funds will also include support of resource facilities that provide analytical tools for molecular biology, radioimmunoassay procedures, and housing and maintenance of genetic models of hypertension.

"The country, and our region specifically, continues to suffer from high rates of mortality due to strokes and heart disease," Ferrario said. "An explosion of diabetes and obesity has aggravated the situation and demanded that we explore new approaches and medicines to reduce the risk of hypertension, treat obesity and diabetes, and develop new medicines that are specific and without side effects. Our new studies will pave the way for the development of new antihypertensive medicines that are directed to block the action of hormones that contribute to hypertension and diabetes.

"The renewal of our research program effort by the National Institutes of Health underscores the recognition of the eminent success of our researchers in advancing knowledge and treatment of hypertension and its complications," he added.
