Cardiovascular Clinical Trials

Research studies testing new heart treatments—offering early access to the latest advances in cardiac care.

Early Access to Tomorrow's Heart Care Innovations

Medical advancements depend on careful research and dedicated study. At AnMed, our cardiovascular clinical trials give you the opportunity to participate in groundbreaking research right here in our community. Through these voluntary studies, our clinical teams evaluate new treatments, advanced medical devices and emerging therapies designed to improve heart health and patient outcomes. We guide you through every stage of the process with clear communication, helping you understand how clinical research works while prioritizing your ongoing safety, comfort and overall well-being. You can easily find out if you qualify for these advanced research opportunities through your local AnMed cardiologist.

What Do Clinical Trials Study? 

Heart and vascular clinical trials at AnMed have researched conditions and procedures such as: 

Participating in a Clinical Trial

According to the National Institutes of Health, steps to join a clinical trial include: 

  1. Study staff explain the trial in detail and gather more information about you.
  2. Once you have had all your questions answered and agree to participate, you sign an informed consent form.
  3. You are screened to make sure you qualify for the trial.
  4. If accepted into the trial, you schedule a first visit (called the “baseline” visit). The researchers conduct health tests during this visit.
  5. You are randomly assigned to a treatment or control group. (If you’re a control group member, you don’t receive the new treatment. But researchers compare your outcome to patients who did receive it, so they know if the treatment made a difference.)
  6. You follow the trial procedures and report any issues or concerns to researchers.
  7. You may visit the research site at regularly scheduled times for new cognitive, physical, or other evaluations and discussions with staff. At these visits, the research team collects information about the effects of the treatment and your safety and well-being.
  8. Throughout the study, you continue to see your regular AnMed physician for usual health care.
