Dartmouth Health's Heart and Vascular Center (HVC) provides expert care for people with heart and blood vessel problems. Our doctors and surgeons work together to treat many heart conditions. We offer testing, treatment, and access to research studies.
Our team works to improve how heart disease is prevented and treated through medical research and clinical trials. We provide the newest treatments and tools, some only available through these studies. We teach the next generation of heart doctors, helping patients now and in the future.
