The PJ Schafer Memorial Heart Research Grant
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 2009 recipients of the PJ Schafer Memorial Research
Grant are Drs. Richard George and Saman Nazarian. Both of these
doctors are working to develop protocols to identify and treat
subjects at risk for heart disease and sudden cardiac death using
advanced imaging techniques, including CT and MRI.
The Johns Hopkins Heart Institute wants to thanks everyone for their generous support of The PJ Schafer Memorial Heart Research Grant.
