Message from Executive Director

Three years ago, we set out to expand the understanding of cardiovascular disease so we may develop novel diagnostics and therapeutics to reduce incidents of heart disease and ultimately relegate heart disease as the leading cause of death. I am happy to share that our investigators have expanded that knowledge, with new diagnostic tools and information, that will help shape and influence cardiovascular clinical care in the years ahead.
