Covid-19 Resources
We will be adding resources about Covid-19 for people working in cardiovascular care, as they come to hand and are approved by the CSANZ NZ Executive.
CSANZ Members should refer to recent email communications from the President-Elect Clara Chow and President Len Kritharides about resources available on csanz.edu.au/covid-19.
The COVID-19 resources website includes links to local and international resources, webinars and journal websites. You are encouraged to contribute to this resource. Send your suggested links to Martha McCall.
Curated journal articles will soon be freely available, as well as a password-protected site for confidential sharing of ideas and documents without widespread dissemination.
CSANZ is committed to supporting its members and the wider community during this time.

19 March: Advice to continue potentially lifesaving medications

We must continue to optimise cardiac co-morbidities as per usual practise, and strive to keep these often vulnerable patients out of hospital.
