Predisposition and Transition Mechanisms From Arterial Hypertension to Heart Failure

This project aims at investigating the genetic, genomic and proteomic basis of hypertension and susceptibility to hypertension-related end organ damage (renal damage and heart failure). It will include cross sectional as well as follow-up studies with a large number of subjects and variety of phenotypes, to explore the pathophysiology of hypertension and hypertension-related disease.
