Research
Cardiovascular, respiratory and cerebrovascular diseases are the main threat to global health and continue to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Canada.
The Centre for Heart, Lung and Vascular Health (CHLVH) was established as a centre of research excellence in the BC interior to focus specifically on heart, lung and vascular health research throughout the human lifespan.
Affiliated Laboratories
Since 2011, the Centre has brought together partners from across campus. This growing network of researchers and the partnerships with other well-established research institutes greatly increase the breadth, sophistication and impact of research performed by the CHLVH.
Publications
The Centre produces and disseminates internationally leading research into the causes, consequences and treatment of cardiovascular, pulmonary and cerebrovascular diseases.
