  • Addressing Social Vulnerabilities in Cardiovascular Disease

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    The investigators will conduct a feasibility study of an enhanced transitional care intervention, that will: 1) automate identification and risk-stratification of patients with CHF and IHD with social vulnerabilities; 2) incorporate a new standardized social vulnerabilities screening tool into clinical care; 3) enable electronic referrals to community resources; and 4) add novel community-based interventions to the existing medically-oriented transitional care intervention that is the standard of care at the study hospital (Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas) and other hospitals nationwide.

  • Evaluation of Treatment Strategies for Severe CaLcIfic Coronary Arteries: Orbital Atherectomy vs. Conventional Angioplasty Technique Prior to Implantation of Drug-Eluting StEnts: The ECLIPSE Trial

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This trial will evaluate Orbital Atherectomy compared to conventional balloon angioplasty technique for the treatment of severely calcified lesions prior to implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES).

  • Transfusion Trigger After Operations in High Cardiac Risk Patients

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The goal of the proposed study is to determine whether a liberal transfusion strategy (transfusion trigger at Hb < 10 gm/dl) in Veterans at high cardiac risk who undergo major open vascular and general surgery operations is associated with decreased risk of adverse postoperative outcomes compared to a restrictive transfusion strategy (transfusion trigger at Hb < 7 gm/dl).

  • Abbott i-STAT High Sensitivity Troponin I Study

    Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only

    The i-STAT High Sensitivity Troponin I (i-STAT hs-TnI) test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in whole blood or plasma samples using the i-STAT 1 Analyzer or i-STAT Alinity Instrument in point of care or clinical laboratory settings. The hs-TnI test is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI). The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of the i-STAT hs-TnI test using the investigational i-STAT hs-TnI Cartridge with the i-STAT 1 Analyzer and i-STAT Alinity Instrument for subjects presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest discomfort or equivalent ischemic symptoms suggestive of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The clinical evaluation will use prospectively collected whole blood specimens from subjects presenting to the ED with chest discomfort or equivalent ischemic symptoms suggestive of ACS.
