About Wendy

Dr. Wendy Busby is a Clinical Senior Lecturer in the Department of Medicine at the University of Otago's Dunedin School of Medicine. She earned her BSc and MB ChB degrees from the University of Otago and is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP). Her primary academic interests lie in stroke medicine and the health of older people. Busby is actively engaged in clinical research, particularly through her involvement in the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke (ENOS) trial conducted in New Zealand. This international study, which has enrolled over 3,800 patients worldwide, investigates whether transdermal glyceryl trinitrate, a nitric oxide donor, improves clinical outcomes 90 days post-stroke for patients with elevated systolic blood pressure between 140 and 220 mmHg in the first week after stroke. New Zealand participants demonstrated significantly better outcomes, with 46% dead or dependent (modified Rankin Score greater than 2) compared to 62% in the rest of the world.
