By growing a beating heart in the Center for Cardiovascular Repair, we proved the University’s continued strength in making heart discoveries.
Cardiology and stem-cell researchers at the University now are part of a multimillion-dollar project to develop the high-potential field of stem cell therapy for heart disease.
Our cardiovascular leadership, born with the legacy represented by the Lillehei Heart Institute, has given life to an entire industry sector in Minnesota.
Our physicians have transformed countless lives with major advancements in transplants, biomedical devices, and other techniques for the treatment of cardiovascular defects and disease.
