Clinical Trials
As part of an academic medical center, the Department of Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine aims to improve the human health through scientific research.
About Clinical Trials
Clinical trials test or study drugs, surgical procedures, medical devices or interventions with human subjects. They look to determine their safety and effectiveness in relation to treating specific diseases. Clinical trials are part of clinical research and are at the heart of all medical advances.

Quantitative Detection of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Long COVID Patients Using a Comprehensive, Rapid, Free-Breathing Cardiovascular MRIThis research study involves the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to study the effectsof COVID-19 on the heart.

Since COVID-19 is a new disease, we do not yet understand the different ways that it may effect the body. There is some evidence that individuals with COVID- 19 are at higher risk for heart complications. The purpose of this study is to use recently developed MRI techniques to compare heart health of individuals with COVID-19 to people who were asymptomatic or are healthy. The new MRI techniques used in this experiment may also allow researchers and health care providers to take clearer pictures of the heart in other individuals.

RV Ischemia & Fibrosis in CTEPHThis study is enrolling patients who have been diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and who are scheduled for a pulmonary endareterectomy (PEA) or balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) procedure for treatment. CTEPH is high blood pressure in the arteries in the pulmonary system (lungs) caused by clots. Over time … This study is enrolling patients who have been diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and who are scheduled for a pulmonary endareterectomy (PEA) or balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) procedure for treatment. CTEPH is high blood pressure in the arteries in the pulmonary system (lungs) caused by clots. Over time the clots typically leave scar tissue (fibrosis) in the arteries and lead to poor blood supply to the heart. In patients with CTEPH symptoms of heart failure commonly result from dysfunction (not working correctly) in the right ventricle (RV), or the chamber of the heart that pumps blood to the lungs. However, little is currently known about why or how that chamber of the heart becomes dysfunctional in patients with this condition. In another chamber of the heart, the left ventricle, it is known that elevated blood pressure in that chamber causes the development of diffuse fibrosis, or scarring between the muscle fibers, and a similar process may take place in the right ventricle of patients with CTEPH. For this study a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) stress test (also known as stress CMR) will be done to look at the RV in patients with CTEPH before and 6 months after treatment. A stress CMR is a specialized scan of the heart that examines fibrosis (scarring) and blood flow (perfusion) both at rest and under stress. A gadolinium contrast agent (MRI dye) is given to highlight the heart muscle in areas receiving a good blood supply. Areas receiving less blood do not highlight as well as the good areas, which can be an indicator of ischemic heart disease (undersupply of blood and oxygen to the heart).

REPAIR-MRThe purpose of this research study is to compare health outcomes of patients diagnosed with Primary MR who have their MV repaired with open heart surgery, which is the current standard treatment, to patients who have their Mitral Valve repaired with the MitraClip System. The MitraClip System uses a less … The purpose of this research study is to compare health outcomes of patients diagnosed with Primary MR who have their MV repaired with open heart surgery, which is the current standard treatment, to patients who have their Mitral Valve repaired with the MitraClip System. The MitraClip System uses a less invasive procedure to repair the mitral valve. Subjects are asked to participate in this Study because they have moderate-to-severe or severe MR and it has been determined to have symptoms due to heart failure despite being treated with currently available therapies. MR occurs when the leaflets of the mitral valve do not close properly causing blood to leak backward with each heartbeat. Since some of the blood leaks backward, the heart needs to pump more blood with each beat to push the same amount of blood forward. The Study will enroll approximately 500 subjects at up to 60 sites in Europe, United States, and Canada. The Study consists of two arms: Device Arm and Control Arm. Eligibility Criteria
