Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) participates in approximately 30 clinical trials annually, encompassing interventional cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, heart failure, electrophysiology and general cardiology treatment modalities.
Completing more than 100 trials over the last 15 years, our team is considered a leader in conducting clinical research in the field. Managed by our three on-staff registered nurses with critical care and cardiology backgrounds, we participate in primarily Phase II-Phase IV pharmaceutical and IDE (Investigational Device Exemption) trials. As a result of the trials conducted, the community of northeast Georgia has benefited from carotid stenting, robotic angioplasty, MRI compatible pacemakers and new medications for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
