Cardiovascular Institute Development Update

The clinicians, surgeons, engineers, and scientists affiliated with the Institue are dedicated to improving the diagnosis treatment, and prevention of America's leading killer: heart disease. Five million people suffer from compromised heart function in the U.S. alone, where nearly one million people die each year from heart disease.

The Cardiovascular Institute is a bold attempt to break away from the decades-old organizational constructs, to realign Stanford's cardiovascular enterprise to foster campus-wide collaboration, accelerate the pace of discovery, and ultimately to develop new methods to prevent, detect, treat and cure heart and vascular disease.
