About Us

The Barwon Health Cardiology Research Unit (pictured) recently recruited the first participant in Australia for three large international clinical trials within the space of seven days:

• The ARTEMIS trial of a new medication to treat people who were admitted to hospital because of a heart attack
• The BalanceD trial of a new treatment for patients with heart failure and impaired kidney function
• The TRIUMPH trial of an investigational medication and its impact on weight management in people with known cardiovascular disease

This achievement is a great reflection of the team’s deep expertise, drive and focus. It is exciting for patients at Barwon Health to be given the opportunity to be involved in these important trials.
