Heart and Vascular Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are research studies involving human volunteers who are closely monitored by:

• Doctors
• Nurses
• Research assistants
• Data analysts

If you are considering participation in a clinical trial, it is important to:

• Discuss your health and review your medical records with your cardiologist and care team to determine eligibility.
• Ask your cardiologist to assist you in discussing the decision with family members and caregivers, so questions or concerns can be addressed.
• Work with your doctor to sign and consent to trial treatment.
• Remember that participation is voluntary. You may choose to or be asked to cease participation in the trial at any time.
