Russell Smith Foundation Chair for Stem Cell and Cardiovascular Thoracic Research at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keck School of Medicine of USC<\/a>. \u201cThe launch of the institute will drive clinical growth and enhance the strong, integrated working relationship between the cardiology, cardiac and vascular surgery teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The USC CVI offers comprehensive, coordinated sub-specialized care across the continuum of cardiovascular services. Services offered include world-class cardiac and vascular surgery, advanced heart failure and transplant, leading-edge valve repair and replacement techniques, comprehensive treatment for atrial fibrillation, an on-call team for aortic emergencies and a rapid transport system for accepting patients across the region who need a high level of specialty care as well as non-invasive cardiology, cardiac imaging, electrophysiology procedures and interventional cardiology.<\/p>\n<p>The institute also provides clinical excellence through its collaboration with cardiac care-aligned departments, such as the Department of Medicine and the Department of Anesthesiology. In addition, institute leaders work with the Keck School to expand cardiovascular medicine research and education.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward, the USC CVI is committed to supporting clinical program development and growth and creating new facilities to address existing patient needs.<\/p>\n<p>Under the leadership of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/providers.keckmedicine.org\/provider\/Ray+V.+Matthews\/205103\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ray Matthews, MD<\/a>, director of outreach and network development, the institute will also create an aligned network of providers to maintain and enhance relationships with independent physician groups and \u00a0community and affiliate hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>The need for advanced heart care is critical. According to the American Heart Association, one in three American adults has some form of cardiovascular disease. \u00a0Heart disease also is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women and for all racial and ethnic groups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe look forward to continuing to connect patients with a network of world-class providers, services and facilities to treat cardiovascular disease, while serving as a hub of innovation and a model for other cardiology and heart surgery programs,\u201d Starnes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n
