Dear Colleague:<\/p>\n

Greetings from the University of Cincinnati. We\u2019re pleased to share with you Cardiovascular Insights<\/em>, an educational resource with information on the cutting-edge research, clinical trials, training and innovative treatments that are advancing the field.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to educate, inform, and collaborate with our peers, making Cardiovascular Insights <\/em>one of the ways we create a dialogue with you \u2013 fellow specialists who seek the best ways to care for your patients. We strive to be the nucleus and portal for research and discovery, patient-centered clinical care and academic excellence. This is possible when clinicians from UC Health come together with researchers and educators from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine to promote the discovery, advancement and application of new therapies for the prevention and treatment of cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular diseases. Our clinical expertise includes advanced heart failure, structural heart disease, cardiomyopathy, valve-related conditions, cardiac rhythm abnormalities, and vascular disease at the micro- and macrovascular levels, to name just a few.<\/p>\n

Through our scholarly and clinical relationship with the world-renowned Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center<\/a>, we are also able to track and treat cardiac disease throughout the entire continuum of a person\u2019s life. This approach known as \u201cthe life cycle of health and disease\u201d or \u201cprimordial cardiology\u201d begins in utero <\/em>with understanding women\u2019s cardiac risk factors and extends through the neonatal, pediatric, adult, geriatric, and end-of-life stages.<\/p>\n

It is my hope that Cardiovascular Insights <\/em>will keep you informed of the latest advances to help us together meet the challenges and exciting opportunities facing the field of cardiovascular medicine.<\/p>\n

I encourage you to reach out directly to the physicians, clinicians, scientists and educators whose work is profiled, and I look forward to sharing additional information regarding our scientific and clinical achievements in the future.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
