RESEARCH PROPOSAL OUTLINE1
Research Objective
The aim of the following research is to explore the current effectiveness and trends
underlying the usage of nanotechnology for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of
cardiovascular disease with an objective to understand its effect on quality of life as
compared to patients receiving oral medications or invasive heart surgeries.
Background
With rising trends in obesity, lifestyle and occupational stresses and inadequate
dietary intake, rates of cardiovascular diseases are rising despite well-established treatments
in terms oral medications and invasive surgeries (Prajnamitra et al., 2019). Nanotechnology
proves to be a promising innovative intervention in this respect, which can improve life-
threatening, atherosclerotic conditions like thrombosis, vasoconstriction and inflammation
through biologically potent nanoparticles like dendrimers, micelles and liposomes
(Chandarana, Curtis & Hoskins, 2018).
Methodology
A quantitative, retrospective, cross sectional research design will be used, which will
firstly involve a survey exploring the views, opinions and standards followed by health
professionals, preferably cardiologists and heart surgeons on the usage of nanotechnology
for treatment and improving the quality of life in patients with cardiovascular ailments.
Additional data on the mortality rate of cardiovascular disease patients, across the age groups
of below 40 as well as above 40 years of age, receiving nanotechnology in comparison to
open-heart surgery will be collected.
