Cardiology
The development of the cardiology research program was initiated in 2019 by Dr. Natalia Pinilla-Echeverri, Cardiology Physician Lead, in collaboration with principal investigators Dr. Adnan Hameed and Dr. Michael Tsang.
Since its inception, the cardiology research team has expanded to include a full-time co-ordinator, part-time administrative research assistant and more than 20 additional collaborating investigators across several departments at Niagara Health. The team have enrolled over 300 patients and seen the completion of two research trials. They are currently running nine active trials.
Conducting both investigator and industry-initiated trials, the programs mission is to create collaborative bridges amongst provincial, national and international research centres and provide improved patient outcomes through access to public health strategies, medications, devices and cardiovascular treatments beyond the current standard of care.
The program also facilitates synergistic interactions between investigators from diverse backgrounds in clinical and investigative sciences, helping to establish and sustain a research program dedicated to understanding cardiovascular disease and developing effective prevention, diagnosis and therapy.
