Introducing Cardiovascular
Imaging Core Lab
Baylor Heart and Vascular Institute recently expanded
Cardiovascular Imaging Core Laboratory services for the
consolidation, tracking, monitoring of data for world-wide clinical
research trials. Imaging services include echocardiography, cardiac
CT and MRI. Imaging analysis occurs for cardiovascular clinical
trials. Providing the service as a Core Lab, the imaging and analytics
helps researchers progress innovation in cardiovascular care.
Between our clinical trials and Core Lab, we
are leading the field in transcatheter mitral
valve repair and replacements.

Studies include:
• SITRAL – surgical implantation of Sapien XT valves in patients
with severe mitral annular calcium
• NeoChord – transapical artificial chords for calcium mitral valve
repair compared to traditional surgical repair
• Cardioband – transcatheter mitral valve annulop
