The Center for Cardiovascular Research
The Center for Cardiovascular Research, part of the University
of Rochester Aab Institute for the Biomedical Sciences, has brought
together some of the top scientists in the field of vascular biology
and cardiac diseases. This program has been instrumental in developing
original research efforts which truly bring the lab bench to the
bedside.
Projects currently under investigation include:
- Growing new blood vessels
- The role of free radicals
- Control of cell growth
- Genetics and blood vessel size
Heart Research Follow-up Program
The Heart Research Follow-up Program (HRFUP) is dedicated to directing cardiovascular research studies. The HRFUP has extensive experience in the design, conduct, and analysis of worldwide, multi-center, clinical research studies ranging from 100 to 3,500 subjects. The HRFUP research interests include, but are not limited to:
- Catecholamines
- Cardiovascular physiology
- Cardiac arrhythmias
- Myocardial infarction
- Post-hospital phase of myocardial infarction

The Cardiovascular Group of the University of Rochester Medical Center and Strong Health integrates superb patient care and groundbreaking, world-class research, while training the best clinical practitioners and research leaders for the 21st century.
Faculty
University faculty provide training programs that produce well rounded cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. When residents complete our program, they are highly skilled in the operating room, academically sound, and have earned the respect of their peers and faculty. Our graduates are routinely sought out for top positions in both clinical and research institutions in the region and around the nation.
Strong Cardiology Associates
is a faculty group providing complete cardiology services to patients.
They are also actively involved in research and the development
of new medications for cardiovascular health and treatment. Patients
who participate with them in major drug trials have access to
the newest medication and cardiac care before they become widely
available.
