Nemours Cardiac Research
The Nemours Cardiac Center engages in clinical research in three areas: clinical research in congenital heart disease, basic research, and preventive cardiology.
Clinical Research in Congenital Heart Disease
Projects in this area relate to outcomes of cardiovascular surgery and interventional cardiology procedures. Projects underway include studies of innovations in surgical technique for palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome and for assessment of outcomes of heart defects corrected at very young ages.
