Advancing cardiovascular
and metabolic health, here in Lanaudière.
The Unité de recherche clinique de Lanaudière conducts clinical studies aimed at improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
Located in the same building as a cardiology clinic, our unit offers participants professional, attentive and respectful support at every stage of their journey.
Our first studies are opening soon.

Expertise centred on heart
and metabolic health
Our research activities focus in particular on cardiology and the prevention of cardiovascular disease, cholesterol and dyslipidaemia, diabetes and its cardiovascular complications, and the management of cardiometabolic risk.
Your participation can
contribute to tomorrow's care.
Clinical studies help us better understand diseases and evaluate new ways to prevent, detect or treat certain health problems. Taking part is always voluntary, and our team explains everything to you before any decision is made.
Participation is entirely voluntary
You decide freely whether to take part, and you may withdraw from a study at any time without having to justify your decision.
Your usual care is unaffected
Your decision does not change the care you normally receive from your own healthcare professionals.
Your information stays confidential
Your personal information is handled confidentially, in accordance with the requirements that apply to each study.
Informed consent, at your pace
You receive all the information you need before signing a consent form, and you can ask questions at any time.
Four steps, at your own pace.
From your first conversation with us through to the end of a study, our team guides you and answers your questions at every step.
