A study led by the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) demonstrates the causal role of air pollution in ventricular arrhythmias and identifies a possible therapeutic strategy based on antioxidants.
The grants, amounting to more than €533,000 for VHIR, will allow clinical duties to be partially released over three years to promote strategic research projects in obesity, respiratory diseases, aortic pathology and metabolic fatty liver disease.
Funding has been obtained for 43 projects under the calls for Health R&D&I Projects, Health Technology Development, and Independent Clinical Research
