Advancing Preventative Cardiology and Heart Failure Research

Professor Geoffrey Tofler's research group at the University of Sydney is at the forefront of preventative cardiology and heart failure research, investigating innovative ways to prevent heart attacks and enhance patient outcomes. Their work includes analysing acute triggers such as physical exertion and heavy meals, supported by the TAMAMI database of heart attack patients from Royal North Shore Hospital. Collaborations with Monash University and experts in app development are enabling larger studies and the creation of new prevention models.
