About this organization
Mission
The mission of the Texas Heart Institute is to deliver the future of cardiovascular health through exceptional patient care, discovery, and a commitment to learning.
About
Medical Research The goals that Dr. Denton A. Cooley and his colleagues first laid out for the Texas Heart Institute in 1962 still hold true for the THI research community. Research groups led by scientists and physician-scientists work collaboratively to discover new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases. The critical need for this research is clear. Cardiovascular disease or diseases of the heart and blood vessels, including stroke is the leading cause of death globally. In the United States alone, about 2,300 people die of heart and vascular disease each day, or about one person every 38 seconds. Our goal is to improve the lives of people with cardiovascular disease by translating our innovative approaches into safe and effective clinical treatments, diagnostic methods, and medical devices. This requires moving our discoveries from the lab bench through preclinical studies and then to clinical trials, for eventual use with patients. THI investigators are also studying the risk factors that may cause people to develop heart and vascular disease, and seeking ways to prevent people from developing these illnesses.
