Your Heart Is in the Right Place
The Heart Center at Wake Forest Baptist is a national leader in cardiac care and surgery. Our cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, nurse specialists, researchers and staff work as a team to address the full scope of heart problems.
Heart Center cardiologists and surgeons have made major contributions in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, including cardiac imaging, valve repair and replacement, bypass surgery, pediatric procedures, device placement and more. We helped pioneer open-heart surgery in North Carolina.
Being leaders in their fields means that Heart Center physicians can offer their patients the very latest and best preventive measures, diagnostic tests and treatments for heart disease.
