Cardiovascular Medicine Research at Duke

Basic science, translational, and clinical research in all aspects of cardiovascular medicine has been a long-standing tradition at Duke and has markedly expanded in recent years. Its growth coincides with the development of new genomics and genetics initiatives.

 

Results from basic science and epidemiological studies are translated into well-designed clinical trials, ultimately leading to the development of new therapies for cardiovascular disease.

 

Duke faculty lead and colloborate with other physician-scientists nationwide in many of the clinical trials that define the evidence base for practice. As clinical findings are integrated into patient management, we monitor progress through a number of quality measures, including the CRUSADE national quality improvement initiative.
