Heart Disease

Prevention and treatment of heart and vascular diseases

Professor MacMahon’s studies have produced important evidence about the causes, prevention and treatment of common cardiovascular diseases, and thousands of individuals from both developed and developing countries have benefited as a consequence.

A grant from The Medical Foundation enabled Professor Stephen MacMahon to establish the Heart and Vascular Disease Program of the Institute for International Health. This program is now fully self-funded, but the Foundation’s support was crucial in this development.
