Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Who is qualified to be enrolled in this medical research?

"This clinical trial seeks out 90 individuals between 18 and 75 years old who have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease. To meet the eligibility criteria, they must be suffering from NSTE-ACS (UA or NSTEMI) following PCI; an electrocardiogram displaying cardiac ischemic symptoms can confirm this diagnosis, though a normal reading may also suffice if the attending clinician believes it to demonstrate ACS presentation."
