This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research Program (CFDA 93.837), provides $2,559,308 to Pennsylvania State University to study the impact of severe pre-eclampsia on heart function in women from diverse racial backgrounds. The project aims to (1) characterize the cardiomyopathic genetic profile and potential impact on heart function in women with severe pre-eclampsia across different racial cohorts, and (2) evaluate the functional effects of specific genetic variants on cardiomyocyte function using human iPSC-derived models. The project involves a collaboration with a sub-awardee, Columbia University, to support the research activities. By expanding the understanding of genetic factors and racial disparities in the cardiovascular effects of severe pre-eclampsia, this comprehensive study seeks to uncover new areas for investigation and potential therapeutic pathways to improve maternal heart health.
