"CRF is probably the most productive organization, barring none, in terms of original research, groundbreaking clinical work, and seminal publications. To have the infrastructure to address critical issues in cardiovascular medicine, and then to teach others, is central to our mission."

Gregg W. Stone, MD
Professor of Medicine, Columbia University
Chief Medical Officer, Cardiovascular Research Foundation

Since its inception, CRF has brought together the efforts of pre-eminent physicians and researchers from a variety of cardiologic disciplines, while disseminating their ideas in educational forums that transcend institutional and national borders. CRF has effectively combined frontline research with global education in order to significantly raise the quality of cardiovascular patient care.

CRF has also played a leadership role in initiating and enhancing the progress of device and drug development, through extensive clinical trials involving stents and stent-grafts, radiation, gene and protein-based therapies, stem cell implantation, new imaging methods, drug-eluting-stents, and more.

All of these activities are made possible with the support of foundation grants, corporate funding, and the generosity of private donations. Additional support will allow CRF to continue developing seminal programs and initiatives such as these, and to meet future challenges in interventional vascular medicine.
