About the Cardiovascular Research Network

Cardiovascular Health Diagram

A circular infographic divided into three primary outer sections—Heart, Blood, and Vessel—surrounding a central core of interconnected medical topics.

Outer Categories:

Heart (Top Left): Contains circles for "Cardiomyopathy & Heart Failure" and "Arrhythmias & Hearth Rhythms."

Blood (Right): Contains circles for "Atherosclerosis, Cholesterol & Lipids," "Blood Cells, Factors & Flow," and "Thrombotic & Inflammatory Disease."

Vessel (Bottom): Contains circles for "Vascular Biology, Ischemia & Stroke" and "Stem Cells & Regenerative Therapies."

Overlapping/Central Categories:

Aortic Disease, Structural Heart, & Hypertension: Positioned between Heart and Vessel.

Diabetes and Obesity: Positioned near the center, overlapping Heart and Blood.

Cardiovascular Imaging: Located at the very center of the diagram, connecting all three outer sections.

Cardiovascular Research Network (CRN) is aimed to enhancing strengths, identifying and addressing challenges, and seeking growth and opportunities for all of those within the Frankel Cardiovascular Center’s broad research network.

The Cardiovascular Science Research Community is deeply committed to the FCVC vision to be the best academic heart and vascular center in the world, and the mission to create an understanding of CV disease through collaboration between clinicians and scientists.

Smaller, like-minded research communities form around thematic areas fostering deeper collaboration around the pursuit of big research questions and other impactful goals.
