Heart patients and doctors rank what matters most in clinical trials
NCT ID NCT07378137
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study asks 600 people—heart disease patients and healthcare providers—to rate how serious different complications are, like heart attack or stroke, compared to death. The goal is to better understand if patients and doctors value these events differently. The results could help make future clinical trials more meaningful by reflecting real-world preferences.
