Vascular Insufficiency - Goals for
Optimal Risk Reduction: VIGOR2
This is a wonderful opportunity for students to be involved in a clinical translational multidisciplinary study to not only learn about the inner workings of research but also to learn some valuable clinical skills to manage multiple chronic diseases in an elderly population.
Project Description: This randomized clinical trial examines the efficacy of an 24 month tailored intensive nurse case management approach for multiple cardiovascular risk factor reduction to improve functional capacity, quality of life and endothelial function in patients with peripheral arterial disease. This is a clinical-translational multidisciplinary study and students can be involved in the development of recruitment strategies, intervention and various physiological measurements including exercise testing, body composition, nutritional, physical and behavioral assessment analyses.
