Overview
Site Principle Investigator: PROspective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of Chest Pain (PROMISE) prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical trial:
Principle Investigator - Duke E.D. Site - "Speed" Study. Pilot phase of Gusto IV. Investigating Abciximab (a GP IIb-IIIa inhibitor) in combination with rapid access to cardiac cath. Funded through Duke Clinical Research Institute. Multi-center trial.
Principle Investigator - Project: proposed mechanisms for afferent pain transmission from myocardial cells to pain centers. Purpose is to identify potential biochemical markers for early anginal presentations. Funded: grants received from Merck & Co. and Roche-Boehringer-Mannheim. Pilot phase paper - in preparation.
Other Interest Areas:
Blasts/Ballistics
Wounding and medical management of penetrating injuries derived from firearms and blast-related injuries.
Impact of Observation/short-stay strategies on clinical care and inpatient/outpatient systems.
Impact of Emerging Viral Threats on clinical management and social/economic/political systems,
Acute Cardiology - Chest Pain Presentations
Evolving Technology and AI in improving clinical care/management
