Cardiovascular devices are a $12.8 billion global industry, growing at a rate of 12 percent per year.  The projected market size for micro-medical biofeedback sensors alone is more than $10 billion.  Together, these sectors are one of the largest and most rapidly growing sectors of the U.S. economy. 

The Cardiovascular Innovation Institute (CII) is able to take research from the biomedical and bioengineering facilities to the animal lab and to the bedside.
