Molecular and Clinical Based Cardiovascular Care Program and Military Medical Molecular Initiative (M3I) - Integrative Cardiac Health Project. Addendum

Abstract

The primary mission of the Military Molecular Medicine Initiative (MMMI), a congressionally-supported military-civilian collaboration between WRAMC, Windber Medical Center(WMC)/Windber Research Institute (WRI) is to: 1) Teach, implement and study lifestyle changes added to 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.
