The need for advanced heart care is critical. According to the American Heart Association, one in three American adults has some form of cardiovascular disease. Heart disease also is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women and for all racial and ethnic groups.

The USC CVI offers comprehensive, coordinated sub-specialized care across the continuum of cardiovascular services. Services offered include world-class cardiac and vascular surgery, advanced heart failure and transplant, leading-edge valve repair and replacement techniques, comprehensive treatment for atrial fibrillation, an on-call team for aortic emergencies and a rapid transport system for accepting patients across the region who need a high level of specialty care as well as non-invasive cardiology, cardiac imaging, electrophysiology procedures and interventional cardiology.

The institute also provides clinical excellence through its collaboration with cardiac care-aligned departments, such as the Department of Medicine and the Department of Anesthesiology. In addition, institute leaders work with the Keck School to expand cardiovascular medicine research and education.
