🚨New paper out in Circ Res! Congrats to 1st author DR @OmarBritoStrada & the team👏🏼Here we show DWORF gene therapy boosts cardiac calcium handling, enhances mitochondrial energetics, & protects against heart failure progression🫀💪🏼 Read it here 😍👇🏼 doi.org/10.1161/CIRCRE…

New work out in the from @UniofOxford looks into developing sex-specific human ventricular #electromechanical multiscale models. Given the importance of #biologicalsex in #CardiovascularHealth this could be a very important tool! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🫀 A healthy heart requires intricate crosstalk between different cell types to keep it functioning well. We shall explore these interactions over the next two days at #HeartCrossTalk2025 @unibirmingham. View today's line up of speakers and topics ⬇️ buff.ly/ZqCSNzT

That's a wrap for CSANZ 2025 in Brisbane! We had the fantastic opportunity to catch up with NSW CVRN members, see their work, promote the CVRN and generally network, collaborate, and learn about all the amazing cardiovascular research being done around Australia/globally.

That’s a wrap on another fantastic #CSANZ ASM! Incredible heart research from across 🇦🇺 &🇳🇿 Congratulations to all the presenters, awardees and the council and ECI committee on an outstanding program See you in Sydney for #CSANZ2026 & ISHR🌎congress 2031 down under!!🦘

@ProfJRMcMullen @thecsanz @ISHR_AUS @BakerResearchAu @HRIAust Congratulations Julie!

Such an honour to give the inaugural Winifred G Nayler Lecture at #CSANZ2025 and ISHR. Thank you to so many researchers & students who have worked with me over the last 20 years. Could not have done it without you! @thecsanz @ISHR_AUS @BakerResearchAu @HRIAust

Mechanisms and Preclinical Discovery: ISHR Student Investigator Finalists session. Great presentations! Well done 👏 #CSANZ2025 @thecsanz @ISHR_AUS @BakerResearchAu @DoanNgo4

Awesome science at the Mechanisms and Preclinical Discovery: ISHR Student Investigator Finalists session! Super impressed by all the student presentations 👏 #CSANZ2025

Really proud of Fairooj Rashid from my group presenting her spatial biology work as a finalist for the Ralph Reader young investigator prize at #CSANZ2025 @thecsanz @wimr @Sydney_Uni

Ralph Reader Prize Session: Basic and Translational Science. Great presentations by all speakers. 👏 #CSANZ2025 @thecsanz @ISHR_AUS @jameschong_doc @AnastasiaSMihai #Discovery #PreclinicalScience

An honour to hear Professor Bryan Williams deliver the #CSANZ2025 RT Hall Lecture. 🌟 One of the world’s leading authorities on hypertension and cardiovascular medicine, Professor Williams shared fascinating insights into targeting aldosterone to prevent and treat CVD. 🫀

Great to see so much interest in the posters! All abstracts in Heart Lung & Circulation (August issue) @thecsanz @ISHR_AUS #CSANZ2025 @AnastasiaSMihai

Prof Francine Marques- Understanding gene-by-environment interactions that dictate blood pressure response to food. Combining #fundamental & #ClinicalResearch 🧬 #Microbiome #RiskFactor #BloodPressure #RiskPrediction #csanz25 @thecsanz @ISHR_AUS @FZMarques 👏

Great panel discussion- Mechanisms and Preclinical Discovery: Big data and artificial intelligence in cardiovascular disease #CSANZ2025 @thecsanz @ISHR_AUS #AI #CVD

Thanks to our fantastic panellists and audience for a dynamic discussion on Big Data & AI in cardiovascular disease at #CSANZ2025 💡🫀Insightful, thought-provoking, and a glimpse into the future of cardiology. @n_palpant @k8weeks @DrDanDonner
