The heart functions as a pump to drive a continuous column of blood through the vasculature. Heart dysfunction and disease can be due to coronary artery narrowing (atherosclerosis), valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathies affecting the myocardium, arrhythmias due to compromised conduction, and infectious or inflammatory processes (e.g. endocarditis, myocarditis, or pericarditis). The clinical and societal burden of heart and vascular disease makes cardiovascular biology research a top priority.
