A randomised controlled trial of Early valve replacement in severe ASYmptomatic Aortic Stenosis

A new clinical trial called EASY-AS (A randomised controlled trial of Early valve replacement in severe ASYmptomatic Aortic Stenosis). EASY-AS is a non-commercial clinical trial funded by the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund and is looking to randomise patients with severe but asymptomatic aortic stenosis to either have their aortic valve replaced early in the absence of symptoms, or the usual pathway of valve replacement if and when symptoms present.

HAVE YOUR SAY IN A GLOBAL SURVEY

This survey aims concerns the factors influencing the decision to pursue adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) as a career around the globe.

The investigators are focused on gathering insights from cardiologists and trainees regarding their ACHD interest.

The primary objective is to understand what motivates physicians to pursue a career in ACHD, and to identify factors that may discourage them from doing so. By examining both the positive and negative forces, they hope to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence career choices in this field.

This questionnaire will request demographic, and training factors and can be completed in 5-7 minutes.
