About Stamford Center

In collaboration with New York-Presbyterian Healthcare System/Columbia University Medical Center, Stamford Hospital’s Heart & Vascular Institute provides world class care, conveniently located in lower Fairfield County. No longer do you need to travel to New York or New Haven for the best cardiac care … we offer the finest cardiac services, including cardiac and vascular screening tests … preventive care … diagnostic services … and expert cardiac surgery, treatment and rehabilitation services.

Expert Cardiac Surgery. At Stamford Hospital, patients can receive the full spectrum of cardiac surgical procedures - elective through life-saving.

We specialize in the minimally invasive cardiac surgery and participate in research studies to contribute to the science in our field. Minimally invasive techniques result in reduced post-operative complications and allow many patients to go home within a few days, sometimes the same day as their surgery. Patients receive personal support - pre-surgical testing and admission all the way through recovery and beyond - by our clinical coordinator, a skilled cardiac nurse whose mission it is to ensure all goes smoothly, every step of the way.
