Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. A Study to Develop a Pulmonary Hypertension Association Registry (PHAR)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to measure and improve quality of care (including assessing differences in adherence to evidence-based guidelines and establishing benchmarks for health outcomes).

2. Associated Anomalies with Right and Left Cusp Fusion Versus Right and Non-Coronary Cusp Fusion

   Rochester, Minn.

   The goal of this study is to determine whether significant differences exist in the prevalence of associated cardiac anomalies between right/left and right / non-coronary cusp fusion in bicuspid aortic valve.

3. The "Virtual" Multicenter Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary goal of this project is to describe the clinical and physiologic characteristics of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissections (SCAD) in order to increase awareness, understanding, treatment and prevention of a potentially fatal cardiovascular event.

   This study will be a retrospective and prospective review of medical course and current health of men and women with SCAD.

4. A Study of Arrhythmia in Eisenmenger’s Syndrome

   Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to describe the incidence and type of arrhythmia seen in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, to define predisposing factors potentially leading to the onset of arrhythmia, and to describe the influence of arrhythmia on outcomes.

5. A Study to Evaluate Potential Myocardial Injury Following Elective Direct Current Cardioversion

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine if direct current cardioversion (DCCV) results in myocardial injury as assessed by changes in high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay.

6. International Triadin Knockout Syndrome Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The aim of this study is to determine the worldwide prevalence of Triadin Knockout Syndrome (TKOS), and to better define the phenotype of patients with the disease. This information will provide additional insight into which phenotypic markers may be specific to TKOS, and will also help to develop better TKOS specific treatment strategies.

7. A Study to Evaluate ICU Simulation Experience in the Cardiothoracic Surgical Population to Reduce Post-operative Delirium

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a pre-ICU admission simulation session on post-operative delirium in the elective cardiothoracic surgical population while in the intensive care unit.

    

    

    

8. Product Surveillance Registry

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of the Registry is to provide continuing evaluation and periodic reporting of safety and effectiveness of Medtronic market-released products. The Registry data is intended to benefit and support interests of patients, hospitals, clinicians, regulatory bodies, payers, and industry by streamlining the clinical surveillance process and facilitating leading edge performance assessment via the least burdensome approach.

9. Edwards Cardioband™ Tricuspid Valve Reconstruction System Early Feasibility Study

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this early feasibility study is to assess the safety and performance of the Edwards Cardioband™ FIT Valve Repair System.

10. A Study to Improve Cardiovascular Health Among African Americans within Faith Communities

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to apply a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to rigorously refine and test the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of our existing cardiovascular (CV) health and wellness digital application (app) prototype to improve CV health according to the American Heart Association Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) framework among African-American (AA) adults within faith communities.
