Welcome to the Laboratory of Cardiac Energetics. The Laboratory is an intramural research program within the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute in Bethesda Maryland. The Chief of the Laboratory is Robert S Balaban, PhD

The major goal of the Laboratory is a better understanding of the complex physiology of the cardiovascular system. Towards this goal, the Laboratory specializes in the use of non-invasive technologies to follow physiological processes in man and model systems. The Laboratory also has a very active clinical program evaluating the use of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.

The Laboratory is composed of four major sections:
