Cardiovascular Research Ground-breaking Discoveries in Cardiovascular Diseases

The researchers of the Johns Hopkins Heart and Vascular Institute continue to make new discoveries to advance the care and treatment of heart and vascular conditions.


Tapping into the Heart’s Strategy

Jennifer Lawton, M.D., and her team study a channel in heart cells that opens when energy is low to protect the heart. With more knowledge of the channel, their hope is to be able to open it with medications to reduce harm to the heart following heart surgery, heart attack or times of stress.
