The British Heart Foundation SENIOR-RITA Trial Invitation

The British Heart Foundation SENIOR-RITA Trial InvitationĀ 

The BHF SENIOR-RITA trial is an ongoing BHF funded clinical trial evaluating a conservative versus invasive strategy in the management of NSTEMI among patients aged 75 years and over. Given the pandemic caused disruptions, the BHF have awarded a costed extension to recruitment to achieve a total sample size of 1668 participants. To date 1310 participants have been recruited in the trial. We are looking for enthusiastic new sites across the UK to help us recruit the remaining ~350 participants. The trial is currently on the NIHR Managed Recovery Initiative. If you/hospital are interested, please contact Dr. Vijay Kunadian vijay.kunadian@newcastle.ac.uk
