Ohio State University Tests New Gene Therapy Drug for Chronic Angina
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new clinical trial at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital is using gene therapy in a new approach to help those suffering from chronic angina (chest pain) who can’t undergo stenting or coronary bypass surgery.
The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center is one of 11 sites nationwide and the only one in central Ohio to participate in this research, which provides hope for patients. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that happens when the heart doesn’t get as much blood and oxygen as it needs.
