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