Why Choose Us

We know heart disease can be a significant disruption to your life. Symptoms such as chest pain, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath can make you feel worried and anxious. At AU Health, we offer a wide range of cardiology programs targeted to a patient's individual needs, allowing you to receive the most appropriate care for your condition. We offer:

  • Expertise in cardiovascular care: Our interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists have earned national recognition in treating coronary artery disease and arrhythmias, respectively. We have advanced heart failure specialists and cardiothoracic surgeons who take on cases that other centers consider too challenging to treat.
  • Advanced diagnostic testing: We are the only center to offer cardiac MRI, which provides our cardiologists with the information they need to help make important decisions about your care.
  • Teamwork: Our heart specialists and vascular surgeons work together to diagnose and treat complex cardiovascular diseases. They gather weekly at board meetings to develop individualized treatment plans for every patient.
  • Collaboration: Conditions such as pregnancy, or medications such as chemotherapy drugs, can sometimes affect how your heart functions. We involve other AU specialists (such as OB/GYNs, oncologists, and neurologists) to help treat your specific condition. 
  • Clinical trial opportunities: We strive continuously to identify new preventive approaches, medications, and devices (such as stents, heart valves and pacemakers) to treat cardiovascular disease. We’re also exploring stem cell therapy to treat heart failure.

We are recognized by the American College of Cardiology (ACC). By participating in ACC national registries and obtaining their seals of approval, we show patients that they can trust in the care they receive from us.

The ACC also applauds AUMC for its “No Diversion Policy” for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients, meaning we accept all patients in cardiac arrest.
