Advanced Heart Disease Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital
Brigham and Women's Hospital has an exceptional reputation for surgical, medical, and interventional cardiology (catheter-based) treatments for advanced heart disease. The Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center, scheduled for completion in Spring 2008, is designed to embody the Center's philosophy of patient-centered care - care based on a collaborative model that encourages clinicians to work seamlessly across subspecialties for optimal management of each patient with advanced heart disease.
Over twenty years ago, Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) performed the first successful heart transplant in New England. A leader in artificial device therapy, Brigham and Women's performed the first implantation of a ventricular assist device in New England for permanent support of a failing heart. Today, a multidisciplinary team of BWH experts in the Advanced Heart Disease Program is pioneering new treatment approaches that will prevent many patients with advanced heart disease from ever needing heart replacement and provide the latest treatment alternatives.
