Future Research Opportunities

Basic Clinical Population
SDoH Identify mechanisms of SDoH influence on CVD risk and pathogenesis Develop multi-level interventions to reduce health disparities Leverage cohort studies and novel data sources to further evaluate CVD-SDoH associations
Resilience Identify the molecular drivers of resilience and factors that influence ARDS/ALI recovery Develop multi-level interventions that promote resilience in vulnerable populations In cohort studies, assess longitudinal impacts of adverse environmental conditions on resilience
CVH Identify biomarkers in childhood, and trajectories through adolescence, to examine associations of early life environment with CVD risk Develop interventions to improve dietary and medication adherence for older patients with HF Elucidate impacts of adverse pregnancy outcomes on CVH trajectories
HTN Leverage imaging and single-cell technologies to assess HTN-induced changes at cellular- and tissue-levels Develop clinical trials for early intervention and new treatments for diverse hypertensive patient populations Develop deeply-phenotyped cohorts for improved HTN risk and treatment prediction
HF Elucidate HF pathophysiology after onset of atrial fibrillation Develop improved algorithms for clinical decision-making processes for advanced HF Conduct deep phenotyping studies to define HFpEF subtypes
VCID Develop animal models that recapitulate progressive changes in human dementia Develop clinical trials that test efficacy of CVD interventions for VCID Elucidate population-level differences in VCID risk and trajectory.
