Bio:
Dr. Catriona Reddin is a fourth year Specialist Registrar in Geriatric Medicine, and an Irish Clinical Academic Training (ICAT) fellow. Catriona graduated from University of Galway in 2015 and subsequently completed a Masters in Clinical Research in 2020 (University of Galway). She is currently completing a PhD exploring the epidemiological association of diet and falls using traditional and advanced analytic techniques. Her research interests includes epidemiology of stroke, falls prevention, in particular modifiable risk factors of orthostatic hypotension (a common cause of falls in older adults), clinical trials and systematic reviews.
Clinical Trials:
STOOD - SalT supplementation in Older adults with Orthostatic intolerance Disorders (STOOD): a phase IIa randomised controlled trial of salt supplementation in those consuming moderate salt intake.
CONVINCE - COLchicine for preventioN of Vascular Inflammation in Non-CardioEmbolic stroke
R beat - Risk-Based Screening for the Evaluation of Atrial Fibrillation Trial
