Heart Attack

Research

Every day, Mayo Clinic researchers are exploring new treatments and diagnostic techniques to better understand the causes and effects of heart attacks, as well as the best treatment for heart attack patients. Not only does a multidisciplinary team provide state-of-the-art clinical care for diagnosis and treatment, but physicians are also doing cutting-edge clinical research on heart attack. Mayo Clinic patients benefit from access to both.
