Heart and Vascular Research

As a cardiovascular care leader in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, our specialists seek the latest medical advancements. That’s why we participate in clinical trials for heart and vascular disease. These research studies allow us to bring you some of the most promising treatments, close to home.

When you participate in a clinical trial, you can receive some of the latest treatments and devices before they’re widely available. You can provide doctors with important information that can lead to better treatment for heart disease in the future.

Through the Clinical Research Institute, researchers at the Florence Wormald Heart & Vascular Institute at St. Elizabeth are currently conducting clinical trials that explore:

  • A leadless pacemaker, used to treat heart arrhythmias, which doesn’t cause the visible lump and scar or require the wires (leads) of conventional pacemakers.
  • A wearable vest that uses infrared technology to measure the amount of fluid in the lungs. The device helps manage the symptoms of heart failure.

Our heart and vascular specialists plan to participate in upcoming studies that investigate new therapies for heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias and diabetes, a significant risk factor of heart disease.

Talk to your doctor and discuss whether a clinical trial is right for you.
