How do you take care of your heart after 40?
As you find yourself hitting 40, you may start thinking about health issues you previously didn’t concern yourself with. Should heart health be one of them?
The Ohio State University's Dorothy M. Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute (DHLRI) is one of the nation’s few free-standing facilities devoted entirely to the research of diseases affecting the heart, lungs and blood vessels.
Researchers at the DHLRI work closely with clinicians at Ohio State's Ross Heart Hospital to translate their findings into new procedures and medical therapies for patients with heart and vascular disease in the areas of:
- Cardiac surgery
- Electrophysiology
- Heart failure
- Sleep disorders associated with heart disease
- Interventional cardiology
- Vascular surgery
- Prevention
- Stem cell research
- Noninvasive cardiac imaging
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy
For information about enrolling in clinical trials at Ohio State’s Ross Heart Hospital, call the Heart and Vascular Research Unit (HVRO) or contact cardiovascular.research@osumc.edu.
