The Emory Heart & Vascular Center for Heart Health
Taking expertise, research and improved outcomes to heart.
The Emory Heart & Vascular Center is committed to providing clinically excellent cardiovascular patient care, promoting overall heart health, pioneering innovative clinical research, and training the best heart specialists in the world. The Center is consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top heart and cardiovascular health centers in the country. In addition, many of Emory's cardiologists and surgeons consistently are recognized as Atlanta's Top Doctors by Atlanta Magazine and as America's Top Doctors.
Emory's board-certified physicians provide a comprehensive spectrum of cardiovascular health services in a variety of convenient locations, including: Emory University Hospital, Midtown's Emory Crawford Long Hospital, Emory-Adventist Hospital at Smyrna, Emory Johns Creek Hospital, Wesley Woods Center and 18 clinics in Atlanta, Western Georgia, Northern Georgia and North Carolina.
Cardiovascular Health Specialty Services
Translational Research
Staffed by medical faculty of the Emory University School of Medicine, Emory's interactive team of cardiovascular and heart health researchers uses knowledge gained in basic science research and applies it to clinical research. This process of connecting biological discoveries made in the laboratory with clinical research is called translational research — and it is crucial to the development of important new therapies, devices and protocols that directly impact patient care when it comes to cardiovascular health. The heart health center is the only program in Atlanta, and one of just a few in Georgia, to be involved in translational research, a fact that consistently propels Emory to the forefront of cutting-edge cardiovascular treatment and technology.
Superior Outcomes
As members of one of the leading heart health teams in the Southeast, Emory Heart & Vascular Center physicians perform a high volume of specialized procedures. Scientific research shows there is a direct relationship between the number of procedures performed and the number of successful outcomes. Additionally, the Emory Center for Outcomes Research (ECOR) focuses on improving standard practice cardiovascular health guidelines and clinical protocols in order to achieve the highest possible quality care for patients with, or at risk for, cardiovascular disease.
Easy Access: 24 Hours, Every Day
Transferring your patient takes a single call from a physician's office, hospital or emergency response team — one call sets everything in motion. A specially-trained operator completes patient demographic and clinical reports and forwards this information to the nursing, admission and pre-certification staff at Emory Crawford Long Hospital or Emory University Hospital. In addition, EmoryFlight provides round-the-clock helicopter medical-transport services for patients who require urgent, specialized care. A specially trained and fully credentialed critical-care nurse and paramedic team provide quick access to an EMORY HEALTHCARE facility.
