Molecular and Clinical Based Cardiovascular Care Program

Abstract

The primary mission of the Military Molecular Medicine Initiative (MMMI), a congressionally-supported military-civilian collaboration between WRMC, Windber Medical Center (WMC) /Windber Research Institute (WRI) is to: (1) Teach, implement and study lifestyle changes added to the "best" medical practices that promote cardiovascular health; (2) Identify patients at risk earlier by characterizing cardiovascular disease at the molecular disease stage and identify biomarkers predictive of sub-clinical CVD; and (3) Relate genomic/proteomic changes to the evolution of CVD risk factors in response to lifestyle changes in an effort to prevent, arrest or reverse CVD.
