The Cardiology and Cardiac Service Line specialty research group is an integrative group of research-inclined physicians working to assess new evidence to inform and improve clinical care. This research page is a resource to aid in organizing interested clinicians, connect those involved in data-driven inquiry, and plan next steps for data collection that can inform clinical practice change. Some topics of interest include: congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, structural heart disease, preventing chemotherapy-induced cardiac side effects, congenital heart disease, and diet and cardiovascular outcomes, among many others.
