There are about 30 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Trinidad and Tobago. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of distal left radial (dLR) access in coronary procedures at a tertiary center in Trinidad and Tobago.
The purpose of this study was to investigate limb salvage rates in patients with critical limb ischemia after endovascular revascularization.
This is a prospective observational study to assess risk factors, functional outcomes and mortality at three months for persons admitted to hospital with stroke and transient ischemic attack. Persons who were admitted with a diagnosis of stroke or transient ischemic attack at Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC), Trinidad and Tobago will be screened for eligibility as participants. Demographic and clinical data will be taken from the patient records and then a follow up survey regarding functional outcome will be done at three months. Informed verbal consent will be obtained. Data will be stored in case report forms, and unique coded identifiers will be used to preserve participant anonymity. Data will also be encrypted and kept in a password protected computer in a locked cabinet. Two clinical research associates will check quality of data throughout the study and routine statistical analysis will be performed.
The aim of this study is to compare coronary artery dimensions on Cardiac CT angiography amongst different ethnicities in Trinidad.
The effects of chocolate on cardiovascular health are still a matter of debate. It can potentially favor cardiovascular health through the antioxidative effects of cocoa ingredients, such as polyphenols (present in dark but not white chocolate).
Sodium GLucose Transport 2 inhibitors (SGLT2I), including dapagliflozin, reduce the likelihood of hospitalization for heart failure and death in persons with type 2 diabetes, of which the mechanism has not been fully elucidated. The mechanistic effects of dapagliflozin on platelet function profiles have not yet been ascertained. It remains unclear if this reduction in cardiovascular death is mediated by decreased platelet reactivity.
Many of the Caribbean island nations have no data on iodine status in their populations. Iodine deficiency in children can reduce IQ but can be easily corrected through a program of salt iodization. The study will be located at 11 islands of the Caribbean region. At each of the 11 study sites, we will measure the iodine status in school-age children by collecting morning spot urine samples for measurement of urinary iodine concentration (UIC). We will also measure height and weight in all children. We will collect a repeat, next-day spot urine sample in 1/3rd of children to adjust for intra-individual variation in spot UIC and calculate the distribution of population intake.
The mechanistic effects of empagliflozin on platelet function profiles have not yet been ascertained.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in Trinidad and Tobago. Early detection and management can help improve morbidity and mortality. Retinal artery microvascular disease has been shown to directly correlate with coronary artery disease. Retinal artery calibre screening via the Optic Coherence Tomography (OCT) will provide a non-invasive method of diagnosing CAD.
This study aims to assess the effects of low dose ticagrelor on platelet function testing in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
