Victorian Heart Institute

Our purpose at the Victorian Heart Institute is simple; to deliver research, education and training excellence which turns into measurable change in the rates of heart disease in Australia.

Until we put ourselves out of business by preventing heart disease entirely, we will deliver solutions which diagnose and treat heart disease more efficiently, in a more personalised way, so more Australians can live long and well. We are committed to making sure that those solutions will work for everyone.

Our difference

The VHI explores novel approaches to solving cardiovascular problems by collaborating with a world class research and innovation community outside the boundaries of health and medicine. We embed teaching, research, health care and discovery into our approach, all to make real and lasting chance for patients and community – bringing lab-side knowledge to bedside practice.

Our world leading team

Led by Professor Stephen Nicholls, the VHI brings together brilliant minds from across a wide research, teaching and clinical community to create the cardiovascular health solutions of the future.
