Best in the Pacific Northwest

Our team is one of the most experienced in the country in managing the risk of complex interventions. We receive patient referrals from across the country and are the most trusted partner of cardiologists for patient care in the Pacific Northwest.

Comprehensive Care Team

We have the infrastructure to care for these complex patients, including a world-class, accredited echocardiography lab with advanced imaging capabilities, 24-hour cardiothoracic intensive care services led by cardiac surgery, cardiac anesthesiology, critical care medicine and a full scope of ancillary services such as social work, nutrition, respiratory therapy, physical/ occupational/speech therapy and other subspecialists.

Access to Cutting Edge Treatments

We have access to the newest, least invasive therapies, unavailable at any other site in the region. At any given time, the UW Heart Institute offers participation in a number of clinical trials, which allows our patients to access new cardiac devices that are not yet offered to the public.
