The #1 Cardiac Program in Florida

Delivering Experience, Expertise, and Results

Cardiovascular Care

Mount Sinai Medical Center is home to the Mount Sinai Heart Institute, Florida’s premier cardiovascular program. Backed by Columbia University, our program offers patients access to the only Ivy League-affiliated cardiovascular program in South Florida. We use a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, which means we bring together cardiac experts from multiple sub-specialties, such as surgery, electrophysiology, clinical and interventional cardiology, rehabilitation medicine, and vascular surgery. Each specialist brings his or her expertise to ensure patients receive a holistic approach to their care – informed by different perspectives and expertise from different areas of cardiology.
