Every year, thousands of Australians survive a heart attack — but their hearts may never fully recover.
Professor Kazuaki Negishi, Chair of Cardiovascular Research at Ingham Institute, is pioneering a world-first treatment called sonoperfusion — using ultrasound and microbubbles to gently break through blockages and restore blood flow to the heart.
In early trials, Professor Negishi found that using ultrasound and microbubbles before and after stent procedures saved 30% more heart muscle — helping patients recover stronger, with less permanent damage.
Now, we need your help to raise $300,000 to enrol 80 patients in the next phase of the clinical trial — to prove this breakthrough can work for heart attack patients everywhere.
