Cardio-Oncology

New AHA Cardio-Oncology Initiatives

Because the risk of death from heart disease is up to 6 times higher in cancer survivors than the general population, the AHA:

Announced a new Strategically Focused Research Network (SFRN) dedicated to cardio-oncology. With $15 million in funding, research awards will become available in 2020. The SFRN page will provide periodic updates.
Formed an alliance with CancerLinQ LLC, a nonprofit subsidiary of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, to accelerate scientific discoveries that can ultimately improve care and quality of life for cardio-oncology patients. Through efforts of the alliance, oncology datasets from the CancerLinQ Discovery® database will be made available to academic researchers, nonprofits, health care providers and government agencies through a customized version of the AHA’s Precision Medicine Platform. An AHA news report has additional information.

Council on Genomic and Precision Medicine (GPM)

The mission of the American Heart Association Council on Genomic and Precision Medicine (GPM) is to advance the discovery and translation of biological insights gained from genetics and omics technologies to improve cardiovascular and brain health. Our constituency’s expertise spans across genetics, genomics, epigenetics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, microbiome, bioinformatics, computational science, population health, clinical genetics and genomic medicine, with the ultimate goal of more precise risk prediction, treatment and prevention for patients and the population. Integral to the American Heart Association’s goals, the GPM Council provides a premier inter-disciplinary forum promoting and integrating new knowledge from molecules to populations in translational cardiovascular science and precision medicine.
