This federal Project Grant award, issued by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research into the role of the enzyme ROCK2 in the immune response and cardiac dysfunction associated with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM). The $123,930 award, with a period of performance from December 2024 to November 2026, will be carried out by the Trustees of Indiana University, Indianapolis.

The research aims to determine how ROCK2 in macrophages promotes cardiac dysfunction in the acute phase of TCM, as well as the mechanisms by which a history of TCM can potentiate future hypertension through reprogramming of myeloid cells. The findings are expected to advance the understanding of TCM and identify new therapeutic opportunities to address the increased cardiovascular risk faced by patients after experiencing a TCM episode.
