A clinical research trial is a research study designed to evaluate the safety and/or effectiveness of treatment on a human condition or illness. The treatment can involve an investigational medication or device.

They are conducted to see if existing or new medications are safe and effective through different regimes, to compare existing treatments and to study different ways to use standard (approved) treatments so they will be more effective, easier to use, and/or decrease side effects.

Each trial is led by one or more of our experienced CVC cardiologists. The clinical research team includes doctors, nurse practitioners, and nurses as well as other health care professionals from our practice. All CVC investigators have many years of clinical trial experience. Please feel free to talk to your provider about our current studies and your participation.
Benefits include access to potentially new research treatments, expert medical care for the condition being studied, and the ability to help others by contributing to medical treatment and research advances. Our investigators are specialists in the disease being studied.
