We are actively enrolling patients in many exciting and cutting-edge clinical trials.  These trials provide our patients with the unique opportunity to receive medications and treatments that are potentially better than is otherwise available as standard of care.  This opportunity is not available at any other Cardiologist in the Memorial City or Katy area.

Participation is completely voluntary so be sure to ask one of our doctors if you qualify for any of our research studies.

A list of the various diagnoses is provided below for your reference.  Please review the list to see if you may qualify and feel free to contact one of our coordinators any time if you are interested in participating.  This list is not all-inclusive and will change monthly so be sure to call if you do not see your diagnosis below and are still interested.  If we cannot find a trial for you we have access to a nationwide list and may be able to find trials elsewhere that you do qualify for.
  • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) with a history of a Myocardial Infarction within the last 12 months
  • Atrial Fibrillation

 
  • Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease (CVD) with history of ischemic stroke within the last 12 months
  • Planned Coronary Catheterization

Many trials offer some form of compensation for patients to participate and most allow for patients to see our physicians regularly with little or no out-of-pocket expense.

If you have any questions about any of our trials, please contact a member of the research department listed below to discuss.
