The Clinical Heart and Vascular Center was established in November 1992 as the Clinical Center for Vascular Disease as a model of patient care to effectively treat all aspects of vascular disease. Vascular disease affects more than 65 million Americans annually. It is a progressive disease and, as such, requires a multidisciplinary approach. In 2018, the new Clinical Heart and Vascular Center opened on campus in West Campus Building 3.

Mission

The mission of the Clinical Center for Vascular Disease is to provide optimal treatment of vascular disease by intervention and management of the disease’s progress. This mission is met by encompassing three important considerations. First, providing a central location for patients to contact and have initial evaluations. Second, coordinating treatment through a multidisciplinary approach involving experts from surgery, radiology, orthopaedics, neurology, internal medicine (including diabetes and hematology), and physical medicine. Finally, providing for longitudinal follow-up and management of the patient’s vascular disease and co-morbid conditions.

State-of-the-Art Laboratory

A state-of-the-art noninvasive laboratory was established at the Clinical Center for Vascular Disease to better serve the needs of vascular disease patients both in and out of the hospital. In 1993, the laboratory was among the first 658 vascular laboratories in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico to be granted accreditation by the lntersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC).
