Heart Institute

 

The most innovative and comprehensive cardiac care in the Upstate can be found at the Greenville Hospital System Heart Institute. Annually, more patients – over 10,000 – choose GHS over other hospitals in the Upstate for cardiac care.

Performing bypass surgery on a beating heart. Providing critical care to potential heart attack patients in the region’s most comprehensive, nationally accredited Chest Pain Center. Repairing congenital heart defects without surgery.

Teams of heart specialists, educated and trained at some of the nation’s top medical universities, apply the latest advances in cardiac medicine to diagnose, treat, and prevent heart problems.

In addition to cardiac problems, The Heart Institute provides care and treatment for vascular diseases. Vascular diseases are those that affect the blood vessels. These diseases restrict blood flow to organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. Some of the most common conditions include varicose and spider veins, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and peripheral artery disease.

Treating more vascular patients than any other hospital in the state, Greenville Hospital System has the largest vascular disease program in South Carolina with three intensivists and eight surgeons all fellowship trained in vascular disease treatment.

In addition, Greenville Hospital System is training the vascular experts of tomorrow in our cutting-edge vascular residency and fellowship programs. In fact, GHS's vascular residency program was one of the first accredited two-year programs in the nation.
