About The Center
Introduction and Objectives
This center was established with the aim of conducting interventional and observational studies at all three levels of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention in the field of cardiovascular diseases, with a multi-disciplinary approach.
Other objectives of this center include connecting with clinical heart research centers and patient information registration systems in the cardiovascular field to conduct macro-level research, align scattered studies, and enhance the quality of clinical and epidemiological research based on appropriate and up-to-date research methodology.
Given the technical and research strengths of this center, another objective is to provide specialized services, such as collaborating with the Ministry of Health for drug and equipment standardization, conducting clinical trials, and assisting public and private centers in designing and conducting various studies.
Organizational Chart
