The Dobney Hypertension Centre (DHC) is a collaborative venture between The University of Western Australia and Royal Perth Hospital. It is led by Professor Markus Schlaich, an international leader in research of high blood pressure, otherwise known as hypertension.
DHC is accredited as a Hypertension Excellence Centre by the European Society of Hypertension, and engages in high quality clinical research with the ultimate aim to better understand the mechanisms that lead to elevated blood pressure.
Throughout the year, numerous clinical trials and research studies are run by the dedicated research team that aim to both improve health outcomes, and optimize the treatment of hypertension across the community.
