The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Troponin Rise After Emergency Orthopaedic-geriatric Surgery Randomised To Standard Care Versus Cardiology Care
Funder

Funding Amount
$87,193.00
Summary
This project will determine whether older patients who undergo emergency orthopaedic surgery who sustain cardiac injury (detected by means of a blood test called Troponin I) benefit from cardiology care as opposed to standard care. Troponin I is used to detect heart injury and can be elevated after surgery even if the patient is asymptomatic. Patients with a troponin elevation have a higher risk of death at 1 year. It is proposed that cardiology care and follow up might improve outcomes.
Utility Of Adenosine Stress Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Following ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction Post Primary Angioplasty

Funding Amount

Summary
Heart attacks remain the leading cause of death in the western world. Many patients presenting with an acute heart attack have more than one significant narrowing in the blood vessel. After treatment of the culprit vessel, a robust non invasive imaging technique such as cardiac MRI allows us to study of the extent of damage from the heart attack. In addition, it also enables us to determine the functional significance of the non culprit vessel. This will help guide the management of these patien ....Heart attacks remain the leading cause of death in the western world.

Role Of Microparticles In Cardiac Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
Funder

Funding Amount
$55,575.00
Summary
Interventional cardiology has reduced the mortality rate associated with heart attack, unfortunately the prevalence of heart failure has subsequently increased, caused in part by reperfusion injury of previously occluded vessels. We aim to identify novel insights into the pathogenesis of IR injury in the heart, as well as the development of new approaches to prevent cardiac damage during cardiac surgery, transplantation, post-angioplasty and coronary artery stenting.
