Research

Our field would not be where it is today if it were not for the tireless efforts of physician-scientists and the families with whom they work. There remains a tremendous amount of needed information about the care of patients with congenital heart defects, acquired heart defects, heart rhythm disorders, and inherited conditions. There are even some diagnoses for which there is still no proven effective treatment. We commit to the families for whom we care that we will investigate the availability of research protocols and trials in these situations, always providing them with any information about possible side effects of such treatments to ensure each family makes an informed decision prior to enrolling.
