Cardiac and Vascular Institute

 

Heart rhythm disturbances can threaten your life.

Our Center for Atrial Fibrillation is using radio waves to cure irregular heartbeats. And we do more of these procedures than most hospitals in the country. In fact, we’re pioneering many new technologies including the use of magnetic fields to locate and precisely pinpoint the problem area of the heart—available at only a handful of hospitals in the world. If you have a heart rhythm disturbance, turn to the experts at NYU. We don’t miss a beat.

Personalized. Experienced. Innovative.

For centuries, philosophers, writers, statesmen, and others have commented on the value of good health. Mahatma Ghandi once said, "It is health that is real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver." Essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson asserted, "The first wealth is health." And according to Henry David Thoreau, "What is called genius is the abundance of life and health."

At NYU Medical Center, we couldn't agree more. And we know that one key to good health is a sound heart and vascular system. To help people achieve this goal, we recently created the New York University Cardiac & Vascular Institute: a place where top-quality patient care, cutting-edge research, and world-renowned training programs all come together to create a comprehensive cardiovascular program. Our doctors, researchers, nurses, and other talented healthcare professionals collaborate to ensure that each patient's care is the best it can be. We treat the whole person, not just the disease.

We are recognized as a leader in cardiovascular care not only in New York City, but in the world. Come to where the teachers are taught, where research is rapidly translated to better care, where medical innovations are created and applied.

Moreover, we strive to take minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment approaches whenever possible, helping our patients receive the best care available while maintaining an optimal quality of life. The result: less pain, a quicker recovery, and a more rapid return to normal activities.
