Cardiovascular health

Monash is committed to shaping global knowledge about cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death for many in Australia and around the world. We are on a mission to discover how to better prevent it, better detect it, and better treat it, and we’re applying this knowledge across every facet of cardiovascular care.

Across Monash we embed research, health care and discovery into our approach, and bring lab-side knowledge to bedside practice to drive tangible changes for patient outcomes and communities. We have a proven track record of driving heart-related health outcomes through an integrated and multi-disciplinary approach to cardiovascular research, training and treatment.
