| The DCRI is the world’s premier organization
for conducting cardiovascular clinical trials. The expertise
of our world-renowned faculty and operational experts spans
the spectrum of cardiovascular disease. Our research experience
in this area extends to all phases and types of trials, from
initial, proof-of-concept studies to multinational registries
and registration trials.
The Division began with the Duke Databank for Cardiovascular
Disease (DDCD) in 1968, the world's largest and oldest cardiac
database. This unique collaboration between clinicians, biostatisticians,
and data specialists has both improved the care of patients
at Duke and around the world and has hastened and improved
trial designs, through more precise estimates of sample sizes
and event rates.
Access is the key to successful research. Our cardiology
trials span 5 continents and more than 1000 experienced sites.
Our longstanding relations with national and international
cardiovascular research networks provide the experience
