Providence Heart and Vascular Institute Clinical Research Program
Advances in medicine and science are the results of new ideas developed through research. New cardiac treatments must prove to be safe and effective in scientific studies before they can be made widely available to patients. By performing clinical research studies we learn which treatments are more effective than others. The standard treatments we use today were first shown to be effective in clinical research studies. These trials helped to find new and better treatments.
