Please help raise money for Emory's Heart and Vascular Center. All people need Heart and Vascular research to help improve the treatments of those diseases that kill many each year.
2021 GA400 Ride Emory Heart Center
Ride with Heart! As cyclists we use our heart a lot and Emory has been one of the nationally best heart instutions. Emory has now joined four areas of research into one the Emory Heart and Vascular Center. My doctor Dr. Angel Leon is the lead electrocardiolist at Emory and integral in setting up this new center to better serve us all. Dr. Leon will be riding with you at the GA400 Ride. He is a life long cyclist and has helped many of us cyclists and more. Now let's give from our heart to Emory to help advanced the treatments that allow us to ride even further in this journey we call life.
As cyclists we use our heart a lot! My doctor Dr. Angel Leon is the head electrocardiolist at Emory and is instrumental in launching the Emory Heart and Vascular Center.

Did You Know?
As an academic health center, many of our physicians are faculty from the Emory University School of Medicine. Emory's team of heart and vascular health researchers use knowledge gained in basic science research and apply it to our clinical (medical) research. This process of connecting biological discoveries made in the laboratory (basic science research) with clinical (medical) research is called translational research — and is crucial to the development of important new therapies, devices and protocols that directly impact heart and vascular patient care.
Our Heart & Vascular Center is the only program in Atlanta, and one of just a few in Georgia, to be involved in translational research. This consistently propels Emory to the forefront of cutting-edge cardiovascular treatments and technologies, and results in better outcomes for patients.
