AboutAbout the lab
Advancing research, education, and clinical care as one
Cardiovascular Medicine is a clinical department that treats diseases of the heart and blood vessels. It grew out of the former First Department of Internal Medicine, which has a history spanning more than a century.
In research, it aims to elucidate the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease and develop cutting-edge medical care. In education, it aims to train the people who will lead cardiovascular care in the future.
In clinical practice, it serves as the "last resort" for severe cardiovascular disease, providing advanced, best-possible care. Its policy is to advance research, education, and clinical care together as one.
Tohoku University has specialists who provide advanced care, including ventricular assist devices and heart transplantation, for a wide range of conditions such as ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiomyopathy.
