Cardiology Clinical Research

Research in the Division of Cardiology covers a wide spectrum of investigation and encompasses the many different areas of cardiovascular expertise of our health care providers. Our research extends to all phases and types of trials and we conduct federal, industry, foundation, and investigator-led studies. The Cardiology Clinical Trials program was started in the mid-1980s with a single doctor and nurse coordinator with a concentration in congestive heart failure. Since that time, we are fortunate to have assembled a very interactive and productive team of cardiovascular investigators who have collectively worked on hundreds of clinical research trials collecting data on thousands of patients. While the majority of trials we conduct focus on heart failure, electrophysiology, and interventional cardiology, we also have trials that fall under the lipidology and peripheral vascular subspecialties.
