£700,000 grant for heart drug research
The research team at Dundee University, led by Chim Lang, a Professor of Cardiology, has been awarded a 700,000 grant as part of the 10 million study being funded by the European Commission.
As part of the study researchers will work with patients, hospital physicians and GPs across Tayside to investigate how an individual's genetic make-up influences their response to heart failure medication.
Prof Lang explained: "Despite significant advances, patients can still often have a poor quality of life with symptoms of shortness of breath and lethargy."
