Track Record of Excellence

MORE THAN 2,500 ARTICLES, PEER REVIEWED ABSTRACTS, AND BOOKS DURING THE PAST DECADE

The scientific rigor for which the Cardiovascular Research Foundation and the Clinical Trials Center are known has led to a track record of publishing that is second to none. CRF faculty have contributed to more than 2,500 articles, peer-reviewed abstracts, and books.

In many instances, this publishing output has generated data and manuscripts for years following the conclusion of the trial. Many CTC trials are showcased at TCT, Cardiovascular Research Foundation’s annual educational meeting and the largest forum devoted to interventional cardiology as well as at other major cardiovascular meetings.
