Studies in Progress
The first Indiana Health Study focuses on heart disease. Heart disease affects more than 340,000 Hoosiers and 15 million people nationwide, and is the leading cause of death for both men and women. The Indiana Health Study gives Indiana communities an opportunity to help decrease these growing numbers.
The Indiana Health Study is currently enrolling people into our study of heart disease. One group of people in the study will have a history of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery or angioplasty and stent placement. Another group will be people who are similar to the first group in age, gender and ethnicity but do not have heart disease. Researchers will compare blood samples and information from the two groups to learn more about the causes and progression of heart disease.
