Hypertension is the biggest killer globally, accounting for more than 10 million deaths every year. In Australia, a third of all adults have high blood pressure, and half of them don’t even know it.
Left untreated high blood pressure can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and eye disease. Research is the key to helping people with high blood pressure find new treatments and improve their quality of life.
Join us to hear from world-renowned hypertension specialist, Professor Markus Schlaich, to learn more about research into detecting, managing and controlling blood pressure.
Professor Schlaich leads a team of dedicated researchers who run numerous clinical trials and research studies every year to optimise treatments and improve health outcomes. Prof Schlaich is a Nephrologist and Hypertension specialist with a strong background in clinical research. His main scientific interests focus is on pathophysiologic aspects of hypertension.
He has authored more than 350 articles and book chapters in peer reviewed journals, and he has received several research prizes and awards, such as WA Scientist of the year award in 2024. He currently serves as President of Hypertension Australia, Co-Lead of the National Hypertension Taskforce, Treasurer and Director of the South Pacific, World Hypertension League, Hypertension Consultant at Royal Perth Hospital and Dobney Chair in Clinical Research at the Dobney Hypertension Centre, University of Western Australia, Medical School, Royal Perth Hospital Unit.
