Hendry Ramly | Clinical Neuroscience | Research Excellence Award

Dr. Hendry Ramly | Clinical Neuroscience | Research Excellence Award

Fiona Stanley | Australia

Dr. Hendry Ramly is a clinician–researcher with advanced training in general medicine, cardiology, and intensive care medicine, and a focused academic interest in non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and post-resuscitation care. His research is directly informed by frontline clinical practice across acute medicine, ICU, and cardiology, where he manages critically ill patients following cardiac arrest. Dr. Ramly’s primary research examines cardiovascular management strategies after return of spontaneous circulation, with particular emphasis on haemodynamic stabilisation, coronary pathology, and the timing and utility of urgent coronary angiography. Neurological outcomes are included as standard clinical endpoints, while the central focus remains on cardiovascular determinants of survival and in-hospital mortality. He is lead author of a retrospective observational cohort study published in Heart, Lung and Circulation (2025), evaluating outcomes of non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest at a tertiary centre. His additional audit work includes thoracic surgical outcomes, geriatric referral pathways, and procedural adequacy in respiratory medicine. Through clinically driven research and multidisciplinary collaboration, Dr. Ramly aims to refine evidence-based pathways that improve survival, decision-making, and quality of care for patients following cardiac arrest.
