Cardiovascular Disease & Injury
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide
Cardiac dysfunction has a wide range of causes and clinical presentations, typically with a high degree of medical complexity. Inotiv studies cardiovascular disease in an integrative manner by evaluating physiological & biomarker parameters ranging from cardiac & systemic hemodynamics, renal function and ex vivo vascular function. Together, these data provide a detailed view of the clinical potential of test compounds. Inotiv offers an array of cardiovascular disease and injury models, with many models reflecting the complex cardiovascular consequences of cardiac and renal injury.
