Sharing Science Globally to Advance Medicine

Texas Heart Institute has been at the forefront of cardiovascular discovery and innovation since its formation. It continues to relentlessly pursue solutions for preventing, diagnosing, and treating heart and vascular disease. Sharing scientific discoveries advance the Institute’s mission and contribute to knowledge globally that can ultimately improve outcomes. In 2019, over 75 Texas Heart Institute members published 187 articles in reputable scientific and medical journals around the world with the help of the Texas Heart Institute Scientific Publications support teams who provide the researchers with professional, scientific editorial services.
