OhioHealth Heart Care is committed to ongoing research that will help save more lives. We participate in more than 120 clinical trials each year. Some of these trials have pioneered some of today's leading heart and vascular treatments, including:

• Drug-eluting stents
• Bi-ventricular pacing for heart failure (performed first in Ohio)
• Stent grafting for abdominal aortic aneurysms and carotid arteries
• Pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation
• Use of platelet inhibitors after angioplasty

Heart disease affects more than 58 million Americans and remains the leading cause of death in the United States. Our Heart Care Services have been responsible for advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease and is nationally recognized for angioplasty and electrophysiology studies, which demonstrates an ever present commitment to research, education and state-of-the-art technology.
