Cardiovascular Surgery in Minnesota

Research

A major goal of cardiovascular surgery in Rochester is to continue a long tradition of research into problems related to the cardiovascular system. Both cardiovascular surgery and Mayo Clinic as a whole are major recipients of federal research grants for medical research.

Laboratory research into the basic mechanisms of cardiovascular disease is one arm of this research effort. The other is clinical research, where our experience with past patients is studied to determine the best treatment for present and future patients. These efforts ensure that cardiovascular surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester will remain on the leading edge of medical science and state-of-the-art care.
