Cardiomyopathy is a leading cause of heart failure in children, and there are currently no effective treatments. Could emerging therapies that successfully target the root cause of the condition in adults also work well in children? That was the question Dr....
In the realm of cardiac health, an exciting new study has cast light on the intricate details of our hearts, revealing significant differences between the left and right ventricles' fibroblasts. This research, conducted by a team of dedicated scientists from the...
For children diagnosed with complex heart conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the diagnosis can be frightening for families and challenging for healthcare providers since the trajectory of the condition is often uncertain. As a leading cause of sudden...
An innovative cardiovascular start-up, HDAX Therapeutics, is the latest company to win $250,000 in funding following another year of the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research’s Entrepreneurship for Cardiovascular Health Opportunities (ECHO) program. The ECHO program...
Several members of the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research (TRCHR) participated in Vascular 2023, a five-day conference held in Montreal from October 25-29. The conference is a hallmark event organized by several Canadian specialist and research organizations,...
Researchers at the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research have developed an innovative approach to better understanding the complex signaling mechanisms underlying heart failure. A recent publication in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) offers...
What is the Ted Rogers Centre? Who is involved? What work is underway? Our first public report has now been published.
It concludes:
“Though the Ted Rogers Centre has already made significant strides, as Ted Rogers often said, “the best is yet to come.” There are countless opportunities to forge significant inroads in the way we address heart failure across the lifespan, make breakthroughs in precision medicine and targeted diagnosis, improve patients’ quality of life, understand the inner workings of a complex disease, develop individually-targeted treatments, and engineer new ways to repair the heart.
Over the next decade, the Centre will redefine how we care for people with heart failure. We will develop cutting-edge medical technologies, collaborate with the world’s leading researchers, scientists and clinicians, and partner with patients in giving them greater control over and understanding of their own care.
This is the first chapter of the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research. Our work has only just begun. The possibilities are endless, and new hope for patients with heart failure is just around the corner.”
