Most research has a goal of improving medical treatments to various heart conditions, and involves a collaboration of basic sciences with clinical trials, at the local and international level. Some research projects in Canada include stress testing and echocardiography, effects of enzymes in heart attacks, clinical use of nitrates in coronary disease, fibrillation issues, and heart disease in women. Research linking strokes and various types of heart failure is ongoing in several universitiesącollaborations with specialists in neurology occur in these studies. Research in heart failure focuses in why it occurs, and how to provide more effective health and palliative care to those who have cardiac failures.
Development of improved pacemakers, artificial hearts, heart-lung machines, aortic balloons, and defibrillators is usually a collaboration between people in cardiology and those in biomedical engineering.
Clinical trials in cardiac experimental design, case reporting, database creation, site co-ordination (for collaborative efforts), and data management are ongoing with people in statistics, epidemiology, and public health.
