Cardiovascular Research Foundation

The Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) works to fund innovative research and treatments for the #1 leading cause of death worldwide– heart disease. They are dedicated to discovering new ways to increase survival and comfort of those living with heart disease, as well as training physicians to implement these groundbreaking techniques.

CRF helped develop drug-eluting stents, for example, which are now used for 75% of all stent placements. They function to open up blocked arteries, and contain drugs that are gradually released in order to prevent the stent from forming scar tissue and clogging blood flow through the artery again.
