We’re the Foundation to Advance Vascular Cures, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming health outcomes and well-being for all through patient-centered research, empowerment, and collaboration in vascular health. Our team of physicians, nurses, public health specialists, caregivers, and patients is excited to bring you the courses, flyers, and other resources that are part of the Vascular Health Equity Academy.
The Foundation to Advance Vascular Cures’ Patient Partners helped design and review our resources to make sure the information is focused on the patient experience. These resources are designed to help patients better understand their condition and empower them to ask questions and share concerns with their healthcare providers.
If you are a healthcare professional or community-based organization interested in distributing our educational materials, please fill out our material use request form.
A Toolkit for Patients to Engage in Research: CLTI Engagement as a Case Study
COURSE AVAILABLE! The main purpose of this toolkit is to help patients with Chronic Limb-threatening Ischemia (CLTI) learn about what it means to engage in research. The toolkit is designed to give an overview of research and research engagement. In order to provide concrete examples of how patient engagement in research really works, the toolkit profiles one type of vascular disease, Chronic Limb-threatening Ischemia (CLTI) and a case study.
Ischemia and Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia
Ischemia (is-KE’me-ah) is a serious condition in which there is inadequate blood flow and oxygen to a specific part of the body. It can occur anywhere blood flows including the limbs…
An Overview of Medical Research and Engagement
COURSE AVAILABLE! This module will provide you with an overview of research as it relates to medical discovery and patient outcomes. Later in the module, we’ll discuss how patients and caregivers can engage in research to improve the process and findings.
Overview of Chronic Limb-threatening Ischemia
COURSE AVAILABLE! This module provides an overview of Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia, also called CLTI. It breaks down the causes, risk factors, symptoms, treatments, and outcomes.
Overview of the BEST-CLI Study
COURSE AVAILABLE! The BEST-CLI Study is an eight-year study that tested two types of treatment. The study focused on patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia, also known as CLTI. In this module, learn more about the study and its results.
