  • MCNAIR Study: coMparative effeCtiveness of iN-person and teleheAlth cardIac Rehabilitation

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically recommended program for patients with certain heart conditions. It includes exercise training, health education, and counseling. Unfortunately, many patients do not participate in cardiac rehabilitation. Some find it challenging to attend the in-person sessions. This study aims to compare two methods of delivering cardiac rehabilitation: in-person and through telehealth. The investigators want to know if the effects of these two programs are alike and if certain individuals benefit more from one program over the other.

  • 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.
