Clinical research in cardiology

The Salem Health Heart and Vascular Center participates in both clinical and nursing research studies. This means we can offer patients within our community cutting-edge procedures and treatment options that otherwise would not be available locally.

Examples of clinical trials:

• Carotid stent study for those at high risk for endarterectomy

• Dual anti-platelet therapy study for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions

• Gender differences in symptoms of acute coronary syndrome upon presentation to the ER

The Salem Health Institutional Review Board approves participation in all clinical research studies.
