Cardiology at Mass General Brigham

Advanced heart failure occurs when heart can’t pump strongly enough to supply the body with blood and oxygen. Our providers offer innovative treatments for the most severe forms of heart failure, including ventricular assist devices (VADs). 

Aortic disease involves disorders of the aorta, the largest blood vessel supplying blood from the heart. Our specialists provide advanced treatments for aneurysms, dissections, and congenital conditions, and more. 

Arrhythmia is a term describing an abnormal heartbeat, which is sometimes felt through heart palpitations. This condition can cause heart damage, stroke, and other serious health problems. Our physicians are experienced in diagnosing and treating all types of arrhythmia, including atrial fibrillation (AFib), bradycardia, ventricular tachycardia, and more.

Coronary artery disease occurs when the heart’s arteries become blocked due to the buildup of cholesterol. Our providers are experts at treating patients with the most severe forms of the disease, or who have complicating conditions like diabetes or kidney failure. 

The heart’s four valves keep the blood flowing in the right direction. Our providers specialize in treating all forms of valve disease, offering both minimally-invasive procedures as well as traditional surgery.
