Cardiovascular and Sleep Epidemiology Study Section [CASE]

The Cardiovascular and Sleep Epidemiology (CASE) Study Section reviews applications on epidemiologic research in cardiovascular and sleep conditions.

Specific areas covered by CASE:

Description of the general characteristics and the distribution of cardiovascular conditions (including myocardial ischemia and infarction, cardiac hypertrophy and failure, cardiovascular arrhythmia, vascular hemodynamics and inflammation and atherosclerosis) and sleep conditions (including insomnia, sleep apnea and narcolepsy) in human groups and populations in relation to time, place, and personal characteristics.
Elucidation of the etiological determinants of cardiovascular and sleep conditions by assembling groups of individuals to determine whether the risk of a disease/condition is different for individuals who are exposed or not exposed to specific factors (or combinations of factors) of interest. These may be either risk or protective factors.
Investigation of strategies for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease conditions and sleep conditions in human groups and populations.
Development and improvement of research designs and methodologies addressing epidemiologic questions in cardiovascular and sleep conditions.
