The clinical diagnostic service conducted by the Head of the Unit enables us to conduct both clinical and translational research. The current research focus is sex differences in hypertension detection and management, osteoarthritis and improving measurement of blood pressure. A key priority is ensuring patient experiences inform the direction of research activity. Understanding the barriers for women and the community to measure their blood pressure allows us to design clinical trials that will change practice and empower patients for self-management. The translational focus of the Cardiovascular and Hormonal Research Laboratory has led to both national and international collaborations involving research teams in interstate, Egypt, Europe and Hong Kong as well as representation on guideline writing teams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-92927b4a

in Australia and many are undiagnosed. Using out of clinic blood pressure measurement to confirm high blood pressure facilitates adequate management to prevent adverse health consequences such as stroke and heart attacks. However, Ambulatory BP is not routinely measured. In a recent survey of GPs, 27% stated that &lt;10% of their patients have obtained an Ambulatory BP. Further, 63% of GPs surveyed were concerned or extremely concerned about white-coat hypertension. There is a clear educational need for GPs to manage white coat hypertension, and ABPM is the appropriate tool to use. The current study will determine if general practitioners and other healthcare professionals follow guideline recommendations for using ABPM and best practice for reliable blood pressure measurements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-3&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-3-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" data-wp-on--keydown=\"actions.handleKeyDown\" id=\"accordion-item-3\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Getting to the Heart of Osteoarthritis (OA): targeting joint-derived micro-RNAs (miRs) to reduce OA-associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div inert aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-3\" data-wp-bind--inert=\"!state.isOpen\" id=\"accordion-item-3-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In collaboration with Kolling Institute\u2019s Raymond Purves Laboratory we are investigating the direct biological link between osteoarthritis (OA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Current cuff-based ambulatory BP monitors (ABPMs), though clinically validated, are often uncomfortable, disruptive, and unsuitable for children or individuals in remote or resource-limited settings. The system will be validated against gold-standard auscultatory and oscillometric devices, following validation standards for cuffless BP such as the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) cuffless BP validation protocols.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-easy-tabs-block-tab-content etb-animation-fade\" data-selector=\"15dcc441-9734-467a-b5cc-e31f82dca9f0\" id=\"tab-b1aa5fd3-9feb-475f-b0d4-e7aa2d858c1f\" aria-labelledby=\"b1aa5fd3-9feb-475f-b0d4-e7aa2d858c1f\" role=\"tabpanel\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Collaboration with Monash University colleagues Professor Mehmet Yuce and team on a successful National Health &amp; Medical Research Council of Australia Ideas Grant \u2013 clinical research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaboration with Newcastle University colleague Professor Murray Cairns M, Sverdlov A, Boyle A, Ngo D, Attia J, Collins C, Reid C, Reay, W and Dudding-Byth T for a successful MRFF 2022 Genomics Health Futures Mission Grant:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using polygenic scores to guide the treatment and prophylaxis of hypertension.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advisory Board Member of the International STRIDE_BP to standardise blood pressure \u2013 international clinical experts in blood pressure measurement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invited Key Opinion Leader on Hypertension by Her Heart Australia Charity to inform members and the community<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invited Steering Committee Member by Murdoch Childrens Hospital colleagues for the first Australian Paediatric Guideline for Blood Pressure Measurement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Member of the Clincial Council Committee of Hypertension Australia for guiding general practitioners and health professionals involved in BP management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":384,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"primary-research-area":[58],"class_list":["post-2655","research-group","type-research-group","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","primary-research-area-cardiovascular-and-renal"],"acf":{"team_leads":[3709],"team_members":""},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/root_Banners_Banner-Cardiology-Discovery.jpg",2000,591,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/root_Banners_Banner-Cardiology-Discovery-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/root_Banners_Banner-Cardiology-Discovery-300x89.jpg",300,89,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/root_Banners_Banner-Cardiology-Discovery-768x227.jpg",768,227,true],"large":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/root_Banners_Banner-Cardiology-Discovery-1024x303.jpg",1024,303,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/root_Banners_Banner-Cardiology-Discovery-1536x454.jpg",1536,454,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/root_Banners_Banner-Cardiology-Discovery.jpg",2000,591,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"ict-wordpress-support@sydney.edu.au","author_link":"https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research-group\/2655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research-group"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/research-group"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research-group\/2655\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7044,"href":"https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research-group\/2655\/revisions\/7044"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team-members\/3709"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"primary-research-area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kollinginstitute.org.au\/news_demo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/primary-research-area?post=2655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
