Description
As part of the Center for Translation Research and Implementation Science's (CTRIS) 10th-anniversary celebration, this HERO lecture offers participants the opportunity to hear about Resolve to Save Lives, which runs many research projects co-funded by NHLBI and is a non-profit global public health organization that works with partners to reduce heart attack and stroke in the low- and middle-income countries that bear the majority of the disease burden.
Resolve is working to increase the proportion of people whose blood pressure is controlled in these countries from 10% to 50%, reduce global dietary intake of salt by 30%, and make food safer by 100% elimination of artificial trans-fat. Resolve has also cultivated research programs that translate into optimized clinical and public health programs.
This webinar will review Resolve’s five years of implementation and research programs and highlight some of the investigators whose research is supported by Resolve and NHLBI.
