UAMS Health Heart Center

Trust your heart to the UAMS Health Heart Center, where our team of specialists offers both surgical and minimally invasive procedures to keep your heart in peak performance.

The UAMS Health Heart Center brings together specialists from Arkansas and around the globe. It houses both our Cardiology Clinic and Cardiothoracic Clinic.

Our team comprises cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, and heart surgeons, all dedicated to ensuring your heart functions properly.

At the Heart Center, each patient is assigned an individual cardiologist and benefits from a collaborative team approach. Our center boasts a team of experts in both surgical and non-surgical heart care, focusing on providing easy access, outstanding care, and clear communication for patients and their families.

Using minimally invasive techniques, our doctors can enhance the structure of your heart. For patients with structural heart diseases, this can be life-changing. Minimally invasive structural heart care offers:

  • Reduced hospital stay
  • Less pain during recovery
  • Fewer medications post-procedure

In addition to treating structural heart issues, our center emphasizes the treatment of heart failure.

General Cardiology

Our heart specialists are focused on caring for you. They treat patients who suffer from chest pain, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeat issues, as well as the long-term treatment of patients with heart valve disease and heart failure.

You’ll have access to state-of-the-art cardiac CT and MRI scans to image the heart and create three-dimensional images that allow them to treat each patient with greater accuracy and care than ever before. They also perform stress tests to assess whether people have blockages in their coronary arteries.

Comprehensive Heart Care

So, at UAMS Health, we provide comprehensive care for all kinds of patients with heart disease. Our internationally recognized group of experts offers a collective skill set that encompasses almost all that is possible for medical and surgical care of heart disease. We hope that you will put your heart in our hands.
