Your Michigan Answer for Heart & Vascular Care
The Frankel Cardiovascular Center is among the top heart and vascular programs in the nation and is number one for heart-related research. We help more than 90,000 patients each year and perform procedures you won’t find anywhere else in our region.
Patients here start with heart and vascular specialists. It’s how we achieve early, accurate diagnoses and offer the most advanced treatment options. Specialty programs focus on heart failure, heart transplant, stroke, adult congenital heart disease, valve surgery, implanted heart-assist devices, heart rhythm disorders, preventive heart care, vascular medicine and surgery.
We’re known for handling the toughest cases, but we aim to keep your case from advancing. We do that by treating patients with the same doctors and researchers improving treatments worldwide.
The best experience comes from a partnership with patients, their families, physicians and staff. In our Patient and Family-Centered Care Program, we work with families to improve care and achieve better outcomes.
