WE SUPPORT
RESEARCH
We promote and carry out innovative research against cardiovascular diseases, particularly in the areas of Interventional Cardiology and Heart Failure
With your donation, you support our doctors and researchers.
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.

We do research with the heart for the heart
Doing innovative research also means helping Italian centers improve the quality of trials, enhance the development of medical devices that treat the most fragile patients.
Why it is important to support research
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Western countries; in Italy (ISTAT data 2019), Cardiovascular diseases are responsible for 44% of all deaths. Our foundation aims to EXPAND research in order to prevent the occurrence of acute events and improve the quality of life…

Technology helps to treat better,
and sooner, the most delicate patients
Fondazione RIC helps develop new technologies with the aim of making interventions simpler and less invasive.
In the past, we have proceeded to develop and complete studies using the medicated balloon, which replaces the stent in certain cases and allows for the support of less antiplatelet therapy. Especially for patients who are anemic and at risk for bleeding.
