Cardiovascular Disease Research

Cardiovascular disease is the most prominent killer in the U.S. after cancer. LIMR researchers focus on developing new drugs and devices to correct heart beat disorders, treat and prevent heart attacks and strokes, and avert heart failure. Some work is also dedicated to monitoring and analyzing our clinical progress in improving patient outcomes. In our basic research component, we study underlying causes of high blood pressure (hypertension) and a unique class of stem cells studied at LIMR that may be useful for cardiac regeneration.
