Is your heart in the right place?  The MUSC Heart & Vascular Center is where it should be.  Here, you’ll find some of the world’s best heart experts – and South Carolina’s only full-service heart and vascular program.

You'll also discover why the MUSC Heart & Vascular Center is considered one of the nation's top heart center programs.  Some reasons for the heart center's elite status include:

We treat more than 14,000 patients each year at the heart center and our outcomes at the Heart and Vascular Center are among the best in the country, according to the University Hospital Consortium.

Our Heart and Vascular Center is South Carolina’s most preferred institution for heart care, according to the National Research Corporation (NRC).
Board-certified physicians and heart surgeons from all related specialties team up in one place at our Heart & Vascular Center to coordinate a specific treatment plan for each patient at the heart center.
We have the most advanced technology and imaging equipment in one heart center.
Our heart center's facility is an accredited Chest Pain Center, delivering quick and accurate assessments of heart problems in the earliest critical stages.
We participate in national clinical trials, offering the newest therapies and translating basic research into applications that immediately benefit patients.
More than 20 years ago, we performed the state’s first heart transplantation at our heart center.  Today, our Heart and Vascular Center is the only one in the state that offers heart transplants and surgery for inherited heart problems.

With leading-edge services and procedures, there’s no doubt that the MUSC Heart & Vascular Center is where your heart should be.
