U.S. News & World Report

BMC is recognized as high-performing in Cardiology, Heart, and Vascular Surgery by U.S. News and World Report for the excellent care we provide for all conditions, including complex, high-risk cases and rare conditions. We were also recognized specifically for our excellence in treating heart failure.

The Cardiovascular Center at Boston Medical Center offers state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment services for a full range of cardiac diseases and conditions, with expertise in interventional cardiology, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy (heart failure), arrhythmia, non-invasive imaging and preventive cardiology. The Center’s multidisciplinary team is committed to providing clinical excellence, innovation and compassionate patient care.

We are nationally recognized for our interventional procedures, including balloon angioplasty and stents, but we know that the best medicine is preventive medicine. Thus, our preventive cardiology programs are designed to prevent heart and vascular disease. We offer a variety of medically supervised exercise and lifestyle-modification programs to help people prone to heart disease lower their risk through physical activity and nutritional counseling, and use the most appropriate medications when needed to further reduce risk. These programs include the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, Vascular Exercise Program, and the Lipid Clinic.

The Vascular Center at Boston Medical Center offers treatment for a variety of peripheral vascular diseases, venous diseases, sasospastic diseases and lymphedema.

In addition to the main cardiology clinic, you can find contact information for specialty clinics here.
