Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Utah, according to the CDC with data from 2022 — though we’re certainly not alone.
The number one cause of mortality in the U.S. is just the same, with heart disease outpacing cancer by nearly 100,000 more deaths. To help aid in finding solutions for one specific heart condition — Diabetic Cardiomyopathy — a USU student has helped research a method to more efficiently study it — with the help of a very unique fish.
In this video learn about that method, how it works, and what could result from it.

Since 1888, Utah State University established itself as a premier research institution known through the world for its intellectual and technological leadership. USU’s main campus is in Logan, plus 30 campuses throughout Utah. And as long as WiFi is available, you can be an Aggie anywhere through USU Online.
USU competes in 16 NCAA Division I sports. Our student section, the HURD, is one of the loudest and rowdiest in the nation. The diehards become True Aggies by kissing on the block “A” on Homecoming. Adrenaline junkies sled down Old Main hill between classes or rock climb outside. And everyone eats Aggie Ice Cream — even with a foot of snow on the ground.
