Our Mission
We aim to improve the understanding of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its prevention. Through a holistic approach, we are focused on predicting the CVD risk of individuals, assessing the risk in minority groups and those at a social disadvantage, characterizing the cardiometabolic burden, and examining both medical and financial outcomes of CVD. We seek to advance the identification of at-risk individuals and groups and inform guidelines to reduce their risk of CVD and its progression.
