The Research & Innovation Center of the UH Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute was established in 2006 in affiliation with the Case Cardiovascular Research Institute to foster discoveries in cardiovascular disease, therapies and technologies. Our physician-scientists are at the forefront of translating cardiovascular discoveries into improved patient care.
- 70 faculty, fellows and staff conducting cardiovascular research with committed federally funded research exceeding $32 million
- Over 90 human clinical trials, following more than 3,000 enrolled patients, investigating novel therapies for heart failure, arrhythmia, coronary and peripheral arterial disease
- A nationally recognized adult, nonembryonic, stem cell research center and leader of the Ohio Cell-based Therapy Consortium
- One of the most comprehensive cardiovascular imaging programs in the nation with state-of-the-art nuclear medicine, MRI, CT, vascular, cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories, including the novel Stereotaxis, NOGA and robotic 3-D navigation systems
- World’s premier program in optical coherence tomography (OCT), a novel vascular imaging technology that provides micron-scale images of the coronary arteries
- One of the largest calcium score preventive and therapeutic programs in the nation
- One of a select number of sites nationally exploring expanded indications for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
- The first multidisciplinary Immuno-Cardiovascular Center for Cellular Diagnosis dedicated to discovery of novel immunological and cellular mechanisms of heart and vascular diseases
- Leading worldwide clinical investigations of CardioKinetix’s first-of-its-kind catheter-based Parachute™ Ventricular Partitioning Device, a percutaneous ventricular restoration (PVR) therapy technology for patients with ischemic heart failure
- International programs to eradicate rheumatic heart disease in underdeveloped countries
- Participate in international network of leading academic medical centers including Europe, Asia, Japan, Africa and South America dedicated to expanding the frontiers of new technologies and therapies
