Tulane University Heart and Vascular Institute

Tulane University Heart and Vascular Institute (TUHVI) is a regional leader in cardiovascular care, with a particular focus on providing therapies and interventions for patients with complex conditions. The Institute employs seventeen physicians with extensive training and experience treating common cardiovascular conditions such as Chest Pain, High Cholesterol, Hypertension, Arrhythmias, Heart Attack, Heart Failure, Vascular Disease, and Stroke.  

TUHVI interventional specialists offer cutting edge options for patients with chronic total occlusion of arteries and peripheral vascular disease. Doctors in the TUHVI group have been recognized for high quality care for patients and quick responses to life-threatening conditions. TUHVI’s affiliate hospital, Tulane Medical Center, recently received national recognition for its implementation of measures outlined by the American Heart Association for the treatment of patients suffering severe heart attacks and meeting standards of performance for the quick, appropriate treatment of STEMI patients through emergency procedures to re-establish blood flow to blocked arteries.
