Enhance technologies
to make treatments suitable
for all needs

Few people know that in Italy, despite the excellence of our researchers, funding for research is among the lowest compared to countries considered developed.

Supporting and incentivizing scientific experimentation through new technologies is crucial, especially to help an increasingly elderly and burdened by co-morbidities population.

THE OBJECTIVES

To support the fight against cardiovascular disease by sustaining research, especially in the areas of Interventional Cardiology and Heart Failure. Help Italian centers improve the quality of trials. Enhance the development of modern and innovative medical devices for the treatment of the categories of patients most at risk (frail patients). Improve the dissemination and quality of clinical trial results.
