The Cardiac Recovery Laboratory

The Cardiac Recovery Laboratory’s research is focused on cardiac recovery associated with unloading and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in the chronic heart failure (HF) setting and the acute setting (i.e. acute HF/cardiogenic shock). We have published original work generated both in the clinical arena and in our laboratory which led to the founding and establishment of the award-winning multidisciplinary Utah Cardiac Recovery Program (UCAR). The research initiatives of UCAR are developed in close connection and alignment to the development of its clinical aspects. This parallel development facilitates a full circle bidirectional synergy which is mutually beneficial to the research and clinical potentials.
