For more than 100 years, researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital Corrigan Minehan Heart Center have conducted groundbreaking research and clinical trials to diagnose, treat and prevent heart disease.
From pioneering technologies that monitor heart failure patients at home to discovering a master cell that has shown a promising ability to repair damaged heart tissue, Corrigan Minehan Heart Center research has led to major advances in cardiovascular medicine.
The Corrigan Minehan Heart Center conducts the full range of research—from basic investigation that improves our understanding of the causes of cardiovascular disease to translational research that brings new discoveries to the bedside for the benefit of patients.
Mass General researchers are studying the genetic basis of atrial fibrillation and defining new treatment approaches, such as catheter ablation and left atrial appendage exclusion, for this condition.

Our research focuses on preventing cardiac events in professional athletes and highly active patients, from college students to seniors.
Our studies of stem cells and genetic risk factors help us understand why people develop heart disease. We are also leading a major clinical trial to learn how type II diabetes impacts heart disease.
Mass General is one of a few select hospitals in the nation to receive a National Institutes of Health grant to study heart transplantation. Our research explores improving the success of heart transplants in patients who are at high risk of organ rejection. We are also part of a network of advanced centers for heart failure research created by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Corrigan Minehan Heart Center investigators are evaluating a unique, minimally invasive procedure called transcatheter aortic valve replacement as a treatment option for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis who are not candidates for open-heart surgery.
We are discovering new ways to diagnose heart attacks within minutes, instead of hours, and are uncovering the genetic makeup of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Researchers at the Corrigan Minehan Heart Center helped found an international registry of patients with thoracic aortic disease that tracks thousands of cases and guides treatment direction to physicians worldwide.
Every day, our clinicians and scientists chart new terrain in biomedical research to treat and prevent human disease and advance patient care.
