Subjects with breast cancer starting treatment with anthracyclines/trastuzumab will be enrolled and their risk of cardiotoxicity calculated. If elevated risk, they will be randomized to intervention with carvedilol for 1 year vs usual care. Low risk subjects will be usual care. All subjects will be followed with serial echo, survey, …
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia affecting millions of people in the US and around the world. Over the last 20 years, the catheter based AF ablation procedure has been widely adopted. However, the long-term success in paroxysmal AF is 50% and as low as 20% in …

Only three treatments have been approved by the US FDA for GBM in the past 2 decades: temozolomide, bevacizumab, and, most recently, tumor-treating fields (TTFields). TTFields represents a novel anti-cancer modality that creates …
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and 12-Month effectiveness of the QDOT MICRO catheter when used with the nMARQ RF generator in the treatment of drug refractory symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) during standard electrophysiology mapping and RF ablation procedures.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used in the treatment of pain and inflammation. Mounting evidence indicates that rectal administration of NSAIDs is also effective in preventing pancreatitis following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) by an unknown mechanism.

The last 2 decades have witnessed a dramatic expansion in our understanding of the genetics, pathophysiology, and comorbidities of psoriasis leading to the development and approval of a variety of treatment strategies targeting pathways such as JAK/STAT, PDE4, TNF, IL12/23, and IL-17. We propose creating a biobank of specimens from …
The purpose of this registry is to collect real-time data for those patients who have aortic disease of their ascending (top) aorta and the aortic arch (curved area where the vessels that supply the brain with blood).
