Tasmanians will benefit greatly from an important research project being undertaken by a team at the Launceston General Hospital that will prevent fatal consequences for people who suffer from genetic heart disease.
The project will involve the creation of a state-wide genetic heart registry which will enable greater identification of Tasmanians with genetic heart disease who are at risk of heart failure and sudden death. This is a major expansion of a pilot project conducted by two medical students in 2010 as part of a Clifford Craig Honours Scholarship.
Director of Cardiology at the Launceston General Hospital, Associate Professor Don McTaggart, will head up the research team which includes Senior Research Fellow Dr Kath Ogden from the Launceston Clinical School and medical student/researcher Jessica Kawa who was part of the original pilot study.
The Clifford Craig Medical Research Trust is named after the late Dr Clifford Craig – surgeon, administrator, radiologist and historian. In 1916 he joined the AIF and was deployed to the Middle East as a private in the Desert Mounted Corps Operating Unit.
