Within the Division of Cardiology and the University of Arizona Sarver Heart Center, we are passionate about training and educating clinical professionals and the public about the latest in cardiovascular disease and prevention research, guidelines and best practices for cardiovascular disease care, resuscitation techniques in the event of a cardiac arrest, and ways to promote a heart healthy lifestyle as a preventative measure to cardiovascular disease.
The cardiologists in the Division of Cardiology can provide expert care for all forms of heart disease. Our teams work with patients to offer the latest in preventive treatment, can provide comprehensive treatment for all forms of heart disease with the goal of optimizing outcomes, and are involved in the latest research often providing access to new treatments not yet widely available.
The curriculum within the Division of Cardiology and the University of Arizona Sarver Heart Center includes cutting-edge educational and training opportunities in clinical cardiovascular medicine and cardiovascular research for undergraduate and medical students, residents and fellows.
The United States of America is an aging nation, and given that age is a significant risk factor for heart disease, this demographic looms large as we plan future cardiovascular medicine services at the University of Arizona Division of Cardiology, UA Sarver Heart Center and Banner – University Medical Center clinical facilities in Tucson. Nationally, 20 percent of the population is age 60 or older. Statewide, that figure is projected to hit 25 percent by 2020. The implications are enormous for cardiovascular disease patient care, prevention education and workforce development. Read on to learn more about how we’re working together to address it…

Increased antioxidant levels in our diet could have negative outcomes that override their positive effect of removing free radicals, according to researchers at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson.
To bolster academic careers in clinical and translational research, the University of Arizona Health Sciences (UAHS) has selected seven junior faculty for career development awards to support their research.
