Cardiovascular Institute
(CVI),
is dedicated to improv-
ing heart health by pioneering
integrative strategies to prevent,
treat, and cure heart disease, by
translating science and technology

its proximity to the many pharma-
ceutical and medical device
companies located in New Jersey.
The faculty at CVI has participated
in the development and evalua-
tion of more than 100 cardio-
vascular agents and devices, and
manages
New Jersey's Myocar-
dial Infarction Data Acquisition
System
(MIDAS), a database that
tracks more than 20 years of data
on patients in New Jersey who
have had a heart attack or stroke.
Institute faculty members are
involved in all levels of pre-
doctoral and post-doctoral educa-
tion within the medical school.
Third- and fourth-year medical
students are offered numerous
cardiovascular-related clinical
clerkships in advanced topics in
the diagnosis, treatment, and
prevention of cardiovascular
diseases. The
Internal Medicine
Residency Program
as well as
the
Cardiovascular Diseases
