Research

Mayo Clinic researchers develop and research potential diagnostic tools and treatments for people who have coronary artery disease. Mayo researchers also study treatment outcomes.

Topics of research have included:

  • How new drugs might improve how blood vessels work.
  • How people do after percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Research Center is focused on developing cutting-edge diagnostic tests and innovative treatments for people with cardiovascular disease.
