Research

Cardiac care and medications are constantly advancing with the latest devices and drugs.  Medicor physicians are actively participating in ongoing clinical trials to provide the latest cutting-edge therapies for their patients.  Specialized research nurses monitor every aspect of the clinical trials from start to finish.

Medicor physicians may discuss applicable trials with you for possible enrollment as part of  comprehensive cardiovascular care plan.
