Cardiovascular research has been an integral part of St. Vincent since the 1970s. The St. Vincent Cardiovascular Research Institute is a not-for-profit organization that coordinates more than 50 open heart and vascular clinical trials led by cardiovascular physician-researchers at St. Vincent Heart Center in Indianapolis. These nationally recognized cardiologists and vascular specialists are principal investigators and collaborators on clinical trials that are evaluating cutting-edge treatments and new diagnostic tests and procedures. Our goal at the Research Institute is to advance innovative yet safe treatments for all types of cardiovascular disease for the benefit of our heart patients and the world at large.
