A dynamic research program keeps St. Paul Cardiology at the forefront
of the latest advances in medicine. Current research covers the full range of diagnostic
and treatment advances in coronary artery disease, from new medications to the genetics
of the disease. St. Paul Cardiology patients regularly have the opportunity to participate
in research studies, giving them access to the most recent and emerging information
on their conditions.
People participate in research for a variety of reasons. Common reasons to participate
in a research study include:
-
Many people volunteer for research because they want to contribute to research efforts
that may help others in the future.
-
The lack of a generally accepted therapy or the partial effectiveness of available
therapies.
Participating in a research study might offer a new alternative to “standard” treatment
before it will be available to the general public.
Research has led to important discoveries that make our lives better. Some examples
include:
-
Improved medical procedures
-
New drugs to treat cancer, diabetes, and other diseases
-
Vaccines
-
Ultrasound, X-ray machines, and diagnostic tests
-
Ways to stop smoking
