A Heart Specialist for Every Problem at our Cardiovascular Center

We have consolidated these services in the University of Utah Cardiovascular Center to treat the full spectrum of cardiovascular diseases - from clogged arteries and fialing hearts to leaky valves and irregular heartbeats. (Article about the Cardiovascular Center). Our physicians are committed to collaborative communications with our referring physician partners. Cardiac specialties represented by our physicians include:
- general cardiology
- preventive cardiology
- noninvasive imaging
- interventional therapeutics/heart catheterization
- arrhythmia management
- adult congenital heart disease
- heart failure
- heart transplant
- cholesterol disorders.
Caring for Patients Across the Intermountain Region
Besides the University of Utah Health Care System, our cardiologists also treat patients at the George E. Whalen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center and at Community and Outreach Clinics where they conduct over 8,000 outpatient visits each year.
Our Cardiology Outreach Clinics serve many rural communities in Utah, as well as locations in Wyoming, Idaho, and Nevada, offering access to heart specialists and the latest in technologies and diagnostic tools. Our Mobile Echocardiogram Van also brings sophisticated medical imaging to many locations throughout the intermountain region.
Heart Fact:
Fact - Heart Disease is the #1 killer of women.
Too few people realize that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women (and men), but the good news is heart disease can often be prevented. Spreading the "Go Red For Women" message "Love Your Heart" raises awareness of heart disease and empowers women to reduce their risk.
Wear Red to Work: Friday, February 6, 2009 is "National Wear Red Day". What to Wear? National Wear Red Day has its own dress code. Wear your favorite red clothes or accessory - a red blouse, a red dress pin, a fabulous red handbag - put on red lipstick, or sport a red tie and red socks. Go red in your own fashion to show your support for women and the fight against heart disease. Learn more about this campaign.
