Endocrine Pathology

Our specialists analyze both primary and secondary cardiovascular disease risk factors to aid physicians in the development of prevention and treatment plans. We provide access to resources not commonly available to the diagnosis of cardiac events and help our clinicians identify at-risk patients for early intervention. 

Standard cardiovascular risk factors only predict about 65 percent of individuals who will go on to have a cardiovascular event. That means we must identify a patient’s residual risk in order to target lifestyle and pharmaceutical intervention. We provide results to help assess a patient’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease, major adverse cardiovascular events, or ischemic cerebrovascular events.

We have experts in cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, arrhythmias, heart failure and transplantation, developmental biology, oxygen sensing, and pulmonary hypertension. We are part of one of the top cardiac programs in the nation, helping to create advancements in cardiac care, research, and diagnosis.
