Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society

9:30 am

Professor Brendan McAdam:

The ISC is a national organisation for cardiologists. We would love to see that being processed as North-South collaboration being involved in registries. Then we could have collaborations for research, innovation and lead clinical trials. For example, the SCOT-HEART trial was a CT scan study conducted in Scotland six or seven years ago. It helped inform best practice about the use of CT technology in patients presenting chest pain, with very favourable outcomes.
