Evaluation of Patients With Heart Disease Not Eligible for Research Protocols

Completed

Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Disease

In brief

An important mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is to develop and carry out research studies designed to improve understanding of disease processes and treatments. Clinical research continues to become more focused on specific diseases and the signs and symptoms of diseases in specific groups of people and patients. This study is designed to permit inpatient evaluation and care of patients with heart disease who do not qualify to participate in research studies being conducted by the Cardiology Branch of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). These patients are valuable to the Cardiology Branch of the NHLBI because they help to improve training and experience of its researchers.
