The proceeds
of the PJ Schafer Memorial Golf Tournament support research at The Johns Hopkins Heart Institute and The Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease
to fund research into the prevention of sudden cardiac death and premature heart
disease. Following the tournament each year a committee of Johns Hopkins cardiologists
selects a talented young cardiologist who has recently begun his or her career in
one of these areas of cardiovascular research. The 2010 recipient of the PJ Schafer
Memorial Research Grant is Dr. Rhondalyn McLean. Her focus is on the genetics of
heart failure, and methods to prevent blood clots in women and patients with kidney
disease.
The Johns Hopkins Heart Institute wants to thanks everyone for their generous support of The PJ Schafer Memorial Heart Research Grant.
