Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to identify novel genetic variants associated with stent thrombosis.

We will identify the prevalence of hemodynamic abnormalities following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Second, among patients with hemodynamic problems, we will be able to identify problems for which action needs to be taken. Third, pursuant to the results of our study, we can identify the clinical utility of such monitoring and will be able to target such monitoring to at-risk patients and will likely obviate the need for routine monitoring, propose cost-effectiveness measures, and propose same day discharge on low-risk patients.

The purpose of the study is collect specimens for future studies to identify markers circulating in the blood that are associated with the development of further complications of heart disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not robotic percutaneous coronary interventin (PCI) can be performed safely and effectively with the primary operator located in an adjacent control room using a remote control telecommunications system.

The aim of this project is to assess the feasibility and utility of a virtual world-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program as an extension of a face-to-face conventional CR program (Destination Rehab).
