Pediatric Cardiology Clinical Trials

Comprehensive heart care from one of the nation’s best children’s hospitals.

Norton Children’s Heart Institute, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine, is at the forefront of research on pediatric cardiology conditions and congenital heart disease. Pediatric cardiology research gives our specialist physicians experience with therapies before they are approved for broad use.

Our clinical research, which includes new heart surgery devices, provides patients access to innovative treatments for conditions such as cardiovascular disease, heart failure and hypoplastic left heart syndrome while still in the testing stage.
