Cardiovascular diseases are the most frequent causes of death in the United States. Scientists at the University of Missouri School of Medicine, the Department of Medical Pharmacology and Physiology, Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center, College of Veterinary Medicine, College of Agriculture, Food, & Natural Resources, and College of Engineering strive for excellence in cardiovascular research. The purpose of this research is to gain a more fundamental understanding of cardiovascular function to enhance therapy and discover new drugs to treat these diseases.
Cardiovascular Day presents an opportunity to share information relating to cardiovascular research at MU with colleagues, the university community, area physicians, and other colleges and universities in the region.
