Monocytes in Ischemic Vascular Disease: Enrolling Healthy Participants aged 18+
We are recruiting healthy volunteers for a research study on ischemic vascular disease. The purpose of this study is to discover the functions of circulating white blood cells, called monocytes, and associated circulating substances in heart attack and stroke patients. The study requires a one-time visit in the Calhoun Cardiology Center. We will perform a short questionnaire to obtain your past medical history and review your UCHC medical records to ensure that you are eligible to enroll. If you qualify, we will draw a small amount of blood. There is no time-commitment after this visit.
Who is eligible?
- Must be 18 years old or over
- Have no history of heart failure, coronary artery disease, hypertension or diabetes
- Not pregnant
Compensation
You will receive a $10 meal voucher at the time of visit. This voucher can be redeemed at the UConn Health Food Cafeteria, located in the Main Building. The voucher must be used all in one visit.
