Cardiovascular clinical trials are research studies through which improvements in the prevention, detection and treatment of heart disease are tested.
Clinical trials evaluate new drugs, devices and procedures that are not yet available to the public. By participating in a clinical trial, you may have early access to these treatments before they become widely available, and you can directly contribute to the advancement of medical research.
Numerous studies have demonstrated better clinical outcomes for clinical trial participants irrespective of treatment allocation (active intervention or control group) because of the expert monitoring and treatment they receive as part of the clinical trial.
If you are interested in finding out more about participating in any of our current trials, please contact us at ISLHD-cardiacresearch@health.nsw.gov.au or (02) 4253 4908.
