Clinical Trials in Cardiology: Dr. Nagamalesh is actively involved in research and clinical trials in cardiology. Some of the trials supported by him are:

• Indian heart rhythm registry of atrial fibrillation patient’s characteristics and clinical management practices
• A multicentre, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, active-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of study drug compared to enalapril on morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction.
• A randomized, double-masked trial to evaluate study drug versus acetylsalicylic acid to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation patients who have failed or are unsuitable for vitamin K antagonist treatment
• RED-HF -Reduction of Events with Darbepoetin Alfa in Heart Failure) trial
• Evaluation of safety and efficacy of short-term study drug treatment in subjects with Acute Coronary Syndrome
• CCF with Hypernatremia
• A phase 3 Active controlled (warfarin)randomized, double-masked, parallel arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug in preventing stroke and systemic embolism in subjects with non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation
• A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled multicenter study assessing the impact of additional LDL-Cholesterol reduction in major cardiovascular events when AMG145 is used in combination with statins therapy in patients with clinically evident cardiovascular disease
• Lipid target achievement in high-risk patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (DYSIS II)
• Prospective, multicenter, international registry of male and female patients newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation
