Summary

This trial will study whether different doses of anticoagulants given to patients during cardiac catheterization affects the rate of thrombotic complications.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients needing diagnostic cardiac catheterization using a small size sheath and with good ulno-palmar blood flow. It's not suitable for those with abnormal blood flow in this area, previous radial artery clotting, surgery near the access site, urgent catheterization needs, heparin allergies or history of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT), or if they already need anticoagulants.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effects of no anticoagulant versus low and high doses of heparin during cardiac catheterization. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of these three groups to compare outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from heparin may include bleeding complications, allergic reactions, and possibly thrombocytopenia (a decrease in platelets which can affect clotting). The placebo group should not experience these side effects.
