The Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Center of Excellence offers a comprehensive range of advanced cardiac and pulmonary testing and treatments, including cardiac imaging, interventions, heart, lung, and vascular surgeries, ablations, and cardioversion.

From imaging and function tests to specialized procedures like cardiac catheterization, electrophysiology, and sleep studies, our expert teams utilize innovative techniques in state-of-the-art operating rooms.

We also provide critical care in specialized ICU and Cardiac Care Unit (CCU), equipped with advanced technologies like mechanical ventilation, heart pumps, implantable devices, and ECMO (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation).
