Cleveland Clinic is nationally ranked for its heart care and recognized as a world leader in cardiovascular care.
You’ll find the expertise and treatments you need at Cleveland Clinic. Our specialists offer an innovative approach to care, including complex procedures.
We’ve treated millions of people with a wide range of heart conditions — from common to rare. With one of the largest cardiovascular teams in the U.S., people from across the country and around the world travel to us for care.
Our cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are internationally recognized for their expertise, excellent outcomes and outstanding care. Our heart team has received numerous awards and recognition from professional organizations, such as the American Heart Association, the American Association of Critical Care Nurses and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
We do every type of heart surgery — from minimally invasive procedures to complex, open-heart operations. Our surgeons excel at second- and third-time surgeries and often help people whose conditions were once thought inoperable. With top ratings from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons in every adult heart surgery category, our nationally recognized experts deliver some of the best outcomes in the industry.
Our providers are global leaders in minimally invasive heart surgery and robotically-assisted heart surgery. We also use less invasive methods to treat many other conditions, including plaque buildup in your arteries.
We use the latest technology to diagnose and treat many heart conditions — from advanced imaging that shows detailed pictures of your heart to devices that monitor or control its rhythm.
Skipping a drive can make all the difference in managing a busy day. That’s why we offer some appointments as virtual visits. Your providers will let you know when these online appointments are an option. You’ll receive excellent care without having to leave home.
When you come to Cleveland Clinic, you’ll work with a carefully chosen team of heart specialists, all dedicated to giving you outstanding, compassionate, personalized care. Your expert team may include:
Because heart disease is complex and may impact other parts of your body, your cardiologist may also refer you to a kidney, lung or hormone specialist. No matter who’s on your team, you can count on your providers to help you take an active role in your heart health.
As you age, caring for your heart becomes even more important. At Cleveland Clinic, our cardiologists team up with geriatricians to provide cardiovascular care that’s tailored to your body’s changing needs. Working together, this team of experts can manage complex health conditions common in older adults, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, pericarditis and sarcoidosis. Most importantly, they focus on what matters to you — whether that’s staying independent or feeling your best every day — so your care truly reflects your goals.
Our healthcare providers see patients at convenient locations throughout Northeast Ohio, Florida and London.
