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.
On the Sarver Heart Center website, you can find upcoming events, educational programs and support groups, along with videos, educational content and links to information that reinforces or builds on what you can find in our education programs. Although there is a lot of medical misinformation on the internet, you will find accurate, helpful resources on our website.
