About the division of cardiovascular medicine

OHSU has a history of cardiovascular breakthroughs stretching back to 1960, when we successfully implanted the world’s first artificial heart valve.

Faculty members from 10 clinical programs conduct research, provide complex care for our patients and train future doctors across cardiology subspecialties.

Clinical care

We provide top cardiovascular care for patients in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Our clinical programs include:

• Adult congenital heart disease
• Advanced heart failure/transplant
• Arrythmias/electrophysiology
• Cardiovascular imaging
• Critical care cardiology
• General cardiology
• Infiltrative and genetic cardiomyopathies
• Interventional cardiology

Cardiovascular research

Our faculty direct groundbreaking research that improves cardiovascular care for patients in Oregon and around the world. We work alongside multidisciplinary teams within the Knight Cardiovascular Institute comprised of physicians, scientists, cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons, fellows and residents.

Our faculty have pioneered new approaches to treating cardiovascular diseases, including:

• Finding novel ways to treat cardiomyopathy and amyloidosis, such as cardiac myosin inhibitors, which have become the gold standard treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
• Helping gain federal approval for new devices to treat valvular heart disease
• Discovering new ways to treat advanced heart failure, including novel Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD)

Community impact

Heart disease is the world’s leading cause of death. Philanthropy helps us discover innovative new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent it.

As the state’s only academic medical center, we offer Oregonians access to clinical trials and treatments that they can’t get anywhere else. We also support doctors and cardiologists who treat patients in every part of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
