Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.91 studies in Cardiovascular Medicine (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. Prediction of Chronic Pacemaker/ICD Threshold by Increased Pulse Width Duration Pacing Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relation of the acute pacing threshold (volts at ‘x’ pulse width) to the chronic pacing threshold of a pacemaker/ICD lead by studying the threshold during implantation at different pulse widths (eg. Twice of ‘x’, Three times of ‘x’). Molecular Analysis of Blood for the Detection of Cardiovascular Pathogens Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to test whether metagenomic shotgun sequencing can identify pathogens causing cardiovascular infections such as infective endocarditis or myocarditis. MediCool Protocol Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to assess termination of atrial fibrillation (AF) following delivery of cold treatment to the oblique sinus using an experimental cooling module. A Study to Assess Measurements in Cardiomyopathy Patients Using Software for Multi-level Reconstruction of Three Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) or Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) Images Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to utilize three dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or 3D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to measure various mitral chordal, annular, and leaflet measurements and LV size to better understand the mechanism of regurgitation in patients with FMR. A Study to Assess Frailty and Its Impact on Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and effect of frailty in patients referred to pulmonary hypertension (PH) clinic at our institution. Analysis of Outcomes of Left Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation in Arrhythmia Syndromes and Cardiomyopathies Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to collect and review the Mayo Clinic experience with left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD) in patients with heritable arrhythmias syndromes or refractory ventricular arrhythmias beginning in 2000. Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: Validating Functional Parameters and Novel Echocardiographic Imaging Strategies for Evaluation of Functionally Single Right Ventricular Performance using Previously Recorded Studies Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to validate novel echocardiographic parameters and algorithms to quantitatively evaluate right ventricular function in patients with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) by applying these methods to previously acquired echocardiographic examinations. A Study to Assess Virtual Reality As Anesthesia Adjunct During Electrophysiology Lab Procedures Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of virtual reality (VR) technology as adjunct to routine anesthesia care for patients undergoing electrophysiology (EP) procedures. COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic on Health and Healthcare Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to identify correlates of healthcare-seeking behavior in patients with ACS and CHF and its association with psychosocial and health outcomes. A Study to Evaluate Breathing Muscle Training in Cardiac Rehab Rochester, Minn. We are currently enrolling both healthy volunteers and people who have been diagnosed with heart failure to participate in our research study. The purpose of this study is to better understand the relationship between exercise, breathing, blood flow and blood pressure. This study includes two study visits if you are a healthy or heart failure volunteer. All testing will be performed at our testing center at St. Mary’s Hospital located in Rochester, MN. On the first study visit, the research activities will be discussed and all questions will be answered. Once written consent is provided and the participant is enrolled, lung function and exercise capacity will be measured. The second study visit includes two separate breathing muscle workouts (a light and moderate workload) each followed by 10 min of light to moderate cycling exercise. In addition, two breathing tests will also be performed. During this visit, blood is drawn during exercise. If you are a patient at Mayo Clinic, who is currently enrolled or will be enrolling in a cardiac rehabilitation exercise program, you will have the option to complete four study visits. Your first two study visits as described above will be completed at the beginning of cardiac rehabilitation and then we will ask you to return to complete those same two study visits following the completion of your cardiac rehabilitation program. Remuneration and parking reimbursement are provided.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
