Cardiovascular Health Your gift will help us provide the best cardiovascular care available today while developing the surgical techniques and prevention strategies of tomorrow.

Heart Disease Is On the Rise

Despite remarkable improvements in care, cardiovascular disease remains the single greatest threat to American public health. Every 16 seconds, someone in the United States experiences a coronary event. Experts project that more than 40 percent of the country’s population will have some form of cardiovascular disease by 2030.

We’re creating and enhancing programs that are second to none. We’re bridging the gap between the laboratory and the clinic, setting the stage for extraordinary advances in patient care.

With Your Help, We’re Making a Difference

As one of the oldest cardiac clinics in the country, NYU Langone understands that a comprehensive approach—expert care, less invasive therapies, and enhanced prevention and education techniques—will reduce cardiovascular problems nationally.

We’ve been innovating in cardiovascular care for more than a century. Our medical milestones include mitral valve repair and heart imaging—and in 2014, we were first in the United States to successfully implant the world’s smallest leadless cardiac pacemaker. We also excel in heart disease prevention through efforts such as childhood obesity awareness, heart health screenings for families, nutrition classes, and clinical trials.

For all these reasons, NYU Langone ranks No. 5 in the nation’s cardiology and heart surgery programs according to U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Hospitals” rankings.

Your support will help us climb higher and do more.
