The RHI emphasizes the application of advanced pharmacological means of prevention as well as treatment of cardiovascular diseases. We always use proven therapies first at the RHI. However, you may also have access to new tests or treatments under clinical investigation in studies either sponsored through the National Institutes of Health or approved by the Food and Drug Administration. New tests and treatments are only used with your consent.
Our active studies are listed below for your information. Note that there are detailed inclusion and exclusion criteria for each study, and these will be examined if you otherwise qualify for participation.
