Heart and Vascular Care

Our doctors have varied interests and expertise, but the one thing that unites them is that the patient is the number one priority.

Two Specialized Centers

Being a patient at UAMS Health means that you have access to the experts. They work together to give you care that covers all areas of cardiovascular medicine, from high blood pressure to heart disease to heart failure. In addition to our Vascular Surgery Clinic, we are home to two specialized centers aimed at heart and vascular care.

The Aortic Center

The Aortic Center is focused on caring for patients who have problems with the main artery in the body, the aorta. This center gives expert treatment for emergency and elective cases. Our surgeons perform open surgery and advanced, minimally-invasive surgery.

One important aspect of the Aortic Center is that we are available 24/7 for any Arkansas patient who needs us. If you have an aortic emergency, we will always have a hospital bed for you.

The Heart Center

The Heart Center includes both our Cardiology Clinic and our Cardiothoracic Clinic. We offer open surgery and minimally-invasive procedures that help restore healthy blood flow and keep your heart working efficiently. Through minimally-invasive techniques, our doctors are able to build up the structure of your heart.
