Cardiovascular disease (CVD) poses a highly significant health and economic burden in Australia and worldwide, with the latest global burden of disease study identifying cardiovascular disease as an “expanding threat to global health”. Australian cardiovascular researchers are recognised internationally for their broad expertise spanning from fundamental molecular and cellular biology, through innovative bioengineering approaches, patient-focussed clinical trials, and impactful community interventions for improved public health. However, funding challenges have resulted in a fragmented research sector struggling to survive, let alone work together as an effective national team with strategic leadership and collaboration. The Australian Cardiovascular Alliance have successfully advocated for a federally supported Mission for Cardiovascular Helath ($220 Million). A key element of success in their goal of enhancing the CV health of Austrlaians, is partnering with industry.
