Heart Care

Heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women in the United States, so it’s important to do the best you can to stay heart healthy through diet and exercise. But if you have a problem that might require treatment, it’s just as important to seek the advice of experts skilled in treating heart problems of every kind—and turn to a hospital that’s dedicated to extending and improving lives through prevention, early detection and innovative procedures.   

At the Rush-Copley Heart & Vascular Institute, some of the region’s finest cardiologists, radiologists and vascular surgeons are offering heart patients the most advanced medical options, some that weren’t available just a few years ago.

Specialists are using exclusive 3D mapping and non-surgical techniques to cure certain heart rhythm disorders. For patients with peripheral vascular disease, cardiothoracic surgeons are performing delicate stent grafting, a life-changing procedure that opens clogged arteries and repairs aneurysms. This progressive heart team also understands the unique and untraditional nature of heart risks for women, providing a full range of preventive, diagnostic and treatment options—all within the dedicated Women’s Heart Center in Rush-Copley’s Heart & Vascular Institute.

Our goal is to provide the best possible care to patients with disorders of the heart, arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels by using the most advanced minimally invasive and interventional procedures that will result in less trauma to the patient and a significantly shorter hospital stay.
