This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) totaling $774,972 provides funding to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to investigate the impact of changes in the healthcare market, such as hospital mergers and closures, on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular care and outcomes. The primary objectives are to: 1) Examine the effects of hospital mergers and acquisitions on the receipt of...
This Project Grant from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, was awarded under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop clinical software to support quantitative analysis and interpretation of myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) data. Narnar, LLC received $757,197 to create software modules that enhance MCE's ability to identify coronary microvascular dysfunction (MVD). The software will average...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $708,266 to The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) to study the role of the long non-coding RNA SALTE1 in vascular aging and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). The award aims to determine SALTE1's role in vascular aging and HFPEF, as well as the underlying mechanisms. The research will be conducted at Massachusetts...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $777,674 to The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital) to build the largest echocardiography registry in the world and apply advanced causal inference methods to measure the effects of guideline-directed medical therapies on mortality in patients with heart failure and mid-range ejection fraction.

The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: 1) Using natural language processing to aggregate echocardiography report data from 11 hospitals, creating a large registry to enable clinical adjudication of both clinical information and echocardiographic images; 2) Systematically testing the mathematical assumptions required for applying regression discontinuity methods to estimate the effects of guideline-directed medical therapies on mortality in the target patient population. Two sub-awards are included, one to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health for statistical analysis support, and one to Brigham and Women's Hospital for developing natural language processing tools and obtaining data from the Mass General Brigham Enterprise Data Warehouse.
