The Division of Cardiology conducts a broad spectrum of basic and clinical research to understand the molecular, metabolic, inflammatory, mechanical, and gene regulatory mechanisms that drive heart disease. Our goal is to translate these discoveries into innovative therapies that improve patient care. Our research portfolio includes studies funded by NIH and AHA, investigator-initiated projects, and industry-sponsored trials spanning the full range of cardiology—from outcomes and comparative effectiveness to heart failure, transplantation and mechanical support, structural heart disease, electrophysiology, imaging, vascular disease, gene and cell-based therapies, and pulmonary hypertension. This integrated effort engages both basic scientists and clinician investigators focused on adult and pediatric cardiovascular diseases.
