Cardiovascular Health
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Cardiovascular Health of Faculty of Medicine research group is orginally a combination of two research groups which were Cardiovascular and Cardiovascular and Health Performance Indicator. It is officially formed in early 2019 as one of research thrust groups at the Faculty of Medicine, led by Associate Professor Dr Kamisah Yusof with 17 members comprising preclinical and clinical researchers in the field of cardiovascular. The formation of the group aims to integrate and consolidate clinical and basic cardiovascular research with the hope to enhance the quality as well as the impact of research at the faculty and then at the university level. This group conducts clinical and experimental studies¾in vivo, in vitro and ex vivo. For experimental studies, we investigate the effects of natural products such as kaduk, tocotrienol, stink beans, virgin coconut oil, sambung nyawa and oil palm phenolics on hypertension, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, atherosclerosis and hyperlipidaemia. While the clinical studies involve measurement of cardiovascular parameters in high risk subjects, as well as in young patients with acute coronary syndrome. The studies of oil palm phenolics oil in subjects with hyperlipidaemia is also conducted.
