Research
At the University of Illinois Chicago’s Center for Regenerative Medicine in Cardiology, our mission is to explore the developmental and functional properties of cardiac muscle through the use of embryonic and adult stem cells. We will extend our basic science results to preclinical studies in animal models of cardiovascular disease with defined therapeutic outcomes. Our goal is to develop clinical trials that translate our preclinical research into safe and effective ways of treating cardiovascular disease in our patients.

Patient Care
The University of Illinois Chicago – Division of Cardiology maintains outpatient offices both in the Heart Center and in the Outpatient Care Center on the campus of the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). UIC cardiologists and the full range of ambulatory cardiac services are available. Many advanced tests are available on an outpatient basis through the Heart Center, including a full lipid profile as well as advanced lipid screening, assessment of the clotting ability of a patient’s blood, advanced internal heart measurements with ultrasound, and treadmill stress tests.
Clinical Programs
Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology
Our faculty has been at the center of cardiac electrophysiology innovation. We offer unique, advanced diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients with atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, and other electrophysiology issues. Our faculty is continually innovating to improve current therapeutic arrhythmia technologies and introduce new techniques and tools to make curative technologies safer and more effective.
Heart Failure
We utilize a multidisciplinary disease management approach to care of patients with early to advanced stage heart failure. Our program strives to meet our patients medical and non-medical needs, employing a team of nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, social workers and physicians trained in the management of heart failure.
Interventional Cardiology Program
The Interventional Cardiology Program provides leading-edge diagnostic tests and nonsurgical interventional treatments for patients with cardiovascular diseases, including congenital heart disease, coronary heart disease, heart valve disease, and peripheral artery disease.
Cardiac Rehabilitation and Cardio-Pulmonary Stress Testing
In partnership with the School of Applied Health Sciences, we offer a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation and cardio-pulmonary stress testing
