Cardiovascular Disease Research
We execute research for dissemination in such areas as dysrhythmia, cerebrovascular disease, dyslipidemia, hypertension and heart failure.
Proven research experience
The cardiovascular team has expertise in evaluating clinical outcomes, treatment compliance, quality of life, and health care costs and utilization.
Deep knowledge of biostatistics, epidemiology, health economics, and health care policy complement our expertise. Critical to the evolving heterogeneity of patients with cardiovascular disease, we have experience across other therapeutic areas and comorbid conditions.
