Acute Cardiac Ischemia in Women in the ACI/TIPI Trial Clinical Trials References presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or professional assistance by using a real medical. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician about Acute Cardiac Ischemia in Women in the ACI/TIPI Trial conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Acute Cardiac Ischemia in Women in the ACI/TIPI Trial Clinical research trials and Acute Cardiac Ischemia in Women in the ACI/TIPI Trial medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectualness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover treatments for all sorts of conditions, such as Acute Cardiac Ischemia in Women in the ACI/TIPI Trial. Acute Cardiac Ischemia in Women in the ACI/TIPI Trial Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to access healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for without cost, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Acute Cardiac Ischemia in Women in the ACI/TIPI Trial clinical trial. Subjects often receive the most expert healthcare possible for their Acute Cardiac Ischemia in Women in the ACI/TIPI Trial condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and could include additional or frequent dr. calls, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Acute Cardiac Ischemia in Women in the ACI/TIPI Trial
For Condition: Angina Pectoris,Myocardial Ischemia,Heart Diseases,Cardiovascular Diseases
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ,
Synopsis: To conduct a series of five inter-related studies on acute cardiac ischemia (ACI) in women.
Details: BACKGROUND: Acute cardiac ischemia (ACI), including acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and unstable angina pectoris, is the leading cause of death in women in the US. Despite growing interest in ischemic (coronary) cardiac disease in women, little research has focused on women in the most common site of ACI initial evaluation and care: the emergency department (ED). Improving medical care quality and outcomes for ACI in women will require an understanding of gender's influence on initial ED presentation, diagnosis, triage, treatment, and outcomes.The detail of prospectively-collected data and number of patients available for this project with the resulting large statistical power (while savings the cost of the $1.8 million ACI-TIPI Trial data collection effort) and the experience of the CCHSR in over a decade of related studies of factors influencing the triage, treatment, and outcome of ED patients with ACI, provide this project with substantial promise of new and useful results. DESIGN NARRATIVE: The five studies included. STUDY I: Were women's emergency department (ED) presentations of ACI different from men's? STUDY II: Were there differences between women and men in the ED diagnosis and triage of patients with chest pain and other symptoms suggestive of ACI? STUDY III: Were there differences between women and men in the use of non-invasive and invasive treatments among patients presenting to the ED with ACI? STUDY IV: Were there significant differences between women and men in medical outcomes during the acute event and within 30 days following ED presentation with ACI? STUDY V: Had differences between women and men in their ED presentation, diagnosis, and/or triage for chest pain or other symptoms compatible with ACI changed over the past 10-15 years? In studying the impact of gender, these studies also included analyses for primary and interaction effects related to patient sociodemographic features, ED presenting clinical features, physician type and training, hospital type and ED setting, health insurance type, and include adjustments for patients' probabilities of having ACI as well as their likelihood of acute cardiac mortality.
