Cardiovascular Research Program
Through ongoing cardiovascular research, our goal is to prolong and improve the quality of life in the communities we serve. One way that we do this is by conducting and distributing the results of cardiovascular research.
Cardiovascular Research
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States and one of the fastest rising causes of death and disability in the world.
Our cardiovascular research seeks to improve the care and treatment of adult patients with cardiovascular ailments. Comprised of clinical and outcomes research, studies are supported by philanthropy, federal sponsors, industry, or foundation grants.
As cardiovascular disease disorders are better understood, translating and applying these results to clinical practice and new therapies can improve patient outcomes.
Our goal is to bring clinical research and trial opportunities to our patients. We combine the expertise of practicing cardiologists and comprehensive clinical trial management services to support single- and multi-center national and international clinical trials of cardiovascular drugs and devices.
