Defining the Future of Heart and Vascular Care

The new Center for Advanced Heart & Vascular Care at UH Cleveland Medical Center brings together the highest level of diagnostic and surgical capabilities in an innovative care delivery system – one of the first of its kind in the world.

The center, which opened in Sept. 2019, co-locates a robotically operated cardiac catheterization lab and operating room with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanners.

This convergence of expertise and state-of-the-art technology advances patient safety and improves outcomes.
