REvascularization CHoices Among Under-Represented Groups Evaluation: The RECHARGE Trial - Minorities

Exploring heart treatment options for minorities in the RECHARGE Trial.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase 3

This study is looking at two heart procedures in minority groups. One procedure is called PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention), where doctors use a balloon and a small wire mesh tube, called a stent, to open blocked heart arteries through a small cut in your wrist or groin. The other is CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting), an open-heart surgery using healthy vessels to make a new path for blood around the blockages. The study aims to see which procedure helps people live longer and feel better.

Key Points:

  • The study lasts 5-10 years with regular check-ups.
  • Participants receive follow-ups over the phone and some tests at a clinic or hospital.
  • Eligible participants must identify as a minority and be at least 18 years old.

Participants should not join if they had a severe heart attack recently, are pregnant, or have had similar heart procedures before. The study involves regular follow-ups, which include phone calls and some medical tests, to check on your health and quality of life. If you join, make sure you can follow the plan for the entire study period.
