Clinical pearls of wisdom

Robert Mullins Director of Clinical Services SENS (Senior Lecturer, AEP)

"HEARTOnline www.heartonline.org.au is a terrific website designed by some of Australia’s leading cardiac specialist clinicians and academics.  It is supported by the National Heart Foundation and Queensland Health.  It should be one of your key resources to search for information on cardiovascular disease prevention and management as well as heart failure management.”
