Cardiology clinical trials and research

In the Department of Cardiology, we maintain a heavy academic interest in improving the lives of our patients through careful research and scientific study. We are proud to be able to provide access to clinical tirals through our speciality groups.

About our research

We offer a range of diagnostic tests and treatments that are not offered anywhere else, and focus on ensuring that patients are offered the utmost in advances in recent evidence based medicine. The Alfred co-ordinates several large international research projects and clinical trials while also running focused tailored trials for patients, offering close clinical contact and access to cutting edge research.

We have a number of collaborative studies with Baker Heart & Diabetes Institute, the Burnet Institute and other Alfred Health services including:

Several distinguished members of the department have published in the key academic journals in cardiology, from the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology and European Society of Cardiology. 

We firmly believe in patient-centred care, and offering the latest that research has to offer is part of that.
