Our comprehensive approach to healthcare offers patients unparalleled care in the region. In fact, the Florida Hospital Cardiovascular Institute has consistently been named one of the nation’s leaders in the fight against heart disease. Each year our team of cardiac experts sees more than 70,000 patients, including 2,000 who must undergo some form of cardiac surgery. Since 1981, the institute has performed more than 82,000 open-heart procedures. Our 135 board-certified cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons are supported by more than 1,000 highly skilled cardiac and critical care nurses, cardiovascular technicians, physical therapists, and cardiac rehab and nutrition specialists. Every stage of your treatment is closely coordinated by the Cardiovascular Institute and your primary physician, from the early detection of diseases to treatment and post-operative rehabilitation. To advance treatments, the Florida Hospital Cardiovascular Institute participates in nationally and internationally recognized cardiac research studies. This allows our patients to access techniques, technologies and procedures that others may not have access to for months, even years.
