Measuring Cardiac Function In The Phase I Unit - What Is Possible?

There is an increase in demand for conducting Clinical Research in Asian and South East Asia We invite you to attend this webinar by Dr Maurice Cross to understand the technologies available for the monitoring of cardiovascular function in the Phase I Unit and the different ways in which they may be deployed to obtain early pharmacodynamic information.

In the pre-clinical arena, everything is possible. Invasion is not an issue.
• Basic cellular electrophysiology
• The Langendorff
• Acute anaesthetised studies
• Instrumented animals

On translating to the human, and especially the normal volunteer, there is an understandable reluctance to conduct invasive studies. But sometimes, heart-rate, blood pressure and the electrocardiogram are not enough.

At Veeda we have specialized in maximizing the information from cardiovascular studies. This webinar reviews the available techniques and our experience with them. REGISTER NOW

Dr Maurice Cross, Group Medical Director, Veeda

Maurice Cross graduated in Medicine from Aberdeen University in 1972 and began a career in academic medicine as a Medical Research Council Junior Research Fellow at Northwick Park Hospital. After a training period in Cardiology he entered the Offshore Oil Industry as physician to COMEX diving, focusing on the physiological aspects of putting man under the sea at increasing depth. This start sealed his career as an experimental physician/pharmacologist and, after a second period as an academic at Newcastle University, he founded Phase I Clinical Trials Unit in 1987 in Plymouth.

Since then, Maurice has been associated with Phase I Clinical Trials Unit Ltd. with focus on the problems of early drug development either from a basic science or early clinical perspective. He led Phase I Clinical Trials Unit Ltd. into a merger with an Indian CRO and continues to influence the Veeda Clinical Research Group in his role as Director.
