Patient research participation
We are proud that research efforts have revolutionized heart treatment; however, we have not accomplished this alone. Patients work with us in our continuing efforts to improve care; and it is their experiences that help shape our education, research and treatment programs.
Why participate in a research study?
Taking part in a clinical study can result in benefits for yourself and others:
-
You may have access to cutting-edge drugs that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but not yet on the market.
-
Some studies pay for medical care associated with them.
-
You may contribute to the understanding of disease or its treatment and improve the lives of future generations.
Your involvement helps clinical researchers study:
-
how well medications work
-
how the human body works
-
new procedures
-
medical tests
-
the best types of patient care
