Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in America.
And at any one time, more than 40 percent of the U.S.
population is affected by cardiovascular disease, which includes heart disease,
stroke, peripheral vascular disease, heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
USF Health cardiologists are dedicated to putting a dent in
those statistics. Our team of expert cardiologists, physician assistants,
cardiac surgeons, nurse practitioners, and other health care professionals
strive to deliver the most advanced clinical care and procedures available for all
aspects of cardiovascular disease, from direct care to prevention to testing to
treatment.
As an academic medical center, USF Health has this region’s leading
experts for cardiovascular sciences and can offer patients the newest services
and treatment options, including those through our expertly designed clinical
trials. With three clinical locations in the Tampa Bay area, and access to the
latest advances in equipment and treatment options, the USF Health Cardiology
team provides outstanding care for patients across the state.
In addition to advanced clinical care, USF Health is an epicenter
for cutting-edge cardiovascular research. Our USF Health Heart Institute in downtown Tampa is a modern facility for groundbreaking translational research, aiming to take new discoveries from bench to bedside, including clinical trials targeting new
ways to manage and prevent the cardiovascular disease.
