After COVID-19
Staff don their PPE to go and perform echocardiography on patients who have been admitted with COVID-19. We hope that after COVID-19 this level of protection will be unnecessary in our everyday work.

Evarest trial – 300 recruited
Reinette and Ash celebrate the end of recruitment for the Evarest trial. The trial, which is being run by Oxford University reached its target of 8000 patients just at the start of the lockdown for the coronavirus pandemic.
Ischemia Trial
The Ischemia Trial is one of the most important recent trials. More than 200 patients were recruited into this trial at Northwick Park, which was the second highest recruitment site in the world, and the team attended the results presentation at the American Heart Association Conference in Philadelphia in November 2019. A summary of the the results of the trial are available on the Ischemia Trial website: https://www.ischemiatrial.org/ischemia-study-results.
