Dr Josephine Mayer - Epilepsy Research UK, ABN & Stroke Association Fellowship Award

Dr Josephine Mayer is the recipient of the Epilepsy Research UK, ABN & Stroke Association Clinical Research Training Fellowship.

The primary aim of this project is to assess the heart and brain blood vessel (cardio-/cerebro- vascular) health in patients with LOUSE. In this project Dr Mayer will undertake the following:
1) Assess blood vessel (vascular) health in people with LOUSE at diagnosis compared to healthy people and people with high blood pressure (a common risk factor for poor vascular health)
2) Assess vascular health over time, at 6 and 12 months, in patients with LOUSE and compare to patients
with high blood pressure who have had their vascular risk factors managed
3) Establish a registry of patients with LOUSE to evaluate markers of poor vascular health, MRI brain imaging data, and review the rate of stroke and heart disease at 12 months.
