Research Opportunities

Learn about current opportunities for physician-initiated clinical research protocols and share your research interests with other women EPs. Whether you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, or are looking for ideas to inspire clinical research on topics specifically applicable to women, you’ll find information on studies with women EPs as PI, studies in the early planning stage, and studies that examine gender-related differences in arrhythmias.

Research Opportunities: Clinical Trials

The information on the Clinical Trial pages represent a preliminary list of electrophysiology trials that may be of particular interest to women EPs. This list is not comprehensive or even complete, but is intended as a starting point. This list was created by review of the studies registered on the NIH clinical trials website, or by word-of-mouth. We encourage women to contact Kristen Downey, of the Heart Rhythm Society, regarding any studies we have missed.

Clinical trials are included in the following areas:

Ongoing Clinical Trials Initiated by Women EPs. Clinical trials listed here are ongoing studies that are run by PIs who are women electrophysiologists.
Development Phase Clinical Trials Initiated by Women EPs. Women PIs for these studies have indicated an interest in identifying potential centers for their trials, but are not yet actively recruiting.
Ongoing Trials of Gender-Related Differences. Studies listed here are specifically investigating gender issues in heart rhythm disorders, prevention or treatment.
Other Ongoing EP or Device Studies. Look here for ongoing trials that are currently enrolling subjects in the U.S.
