This means that I study, assess and treat patients with diseases of the heart and blood vessels.<\/p>\r\n<p>About a year ago, I began work in a cardiorenal medicine clinic and noted a huge research opportunity because of how closely the heart and kidneys work together. Many kidney patients have heart issues that need to be addressed. This is important work to acknowledge because kidney patients I see in the cardiology clinic present with unique patterns of disease.<\/p>\r\n<p>I have recently become co-chair of the cardiorenal clinical study group at Kidney Research UK and am really looking forward to the opportunities for increasing research that this will offer.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\t<h3>What are the future aims and aspirations of the group? And why is it important to have this cardiorenal perspective in research?<\/h3>\r\n<p>We know that patients with kidney disease are at higher risk of heart disease, but we need to improve our understanding of the pathways that lead to cardiorenal disease. Different studies are being carried out within the group to address this knowledge gap. If we get increased input from cardiologists, then we can also improve heart related complications for kidney patients.<\/p>\r\n<p>Having joined this group, I have found opportunities for collaboration that I have not seen before.<\/p>\r\n<p>I look forward to the future of this group and hope to see the involvement of more cardiologists within this space.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<h3>What do you want to achieve in the first six months as chair?<\/h3>\r\n<p>My initial aim is to encourage cardiologists to be more involved in this group which, in turn, will lead to better understanding and a more collaborative approach in managing patients with cardiorenal disease.<\/p>\r\n<p>In addition, I would like to enable better collaboration between the cardiology and nephrology research councils and charities to increase funding opportunities.<\/p>\r\n\t<h2>Read about the research we&#8217;re funding<\/h2>\r\n\t<meta itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\"
