Our patients have been at the heart of everything we do for over 95 years. We know that putting patients first leads to the best outcomes. Your local heart care doctors meet regularly with other regional experts to discuss your case. These clinical specialty committees make sure you’re getting the best treatment, so you don’t have to visit another doctor or specialist yourself. 

We also provide patients with a wide range of support services that extend beyond conventional treatment. Our offerings include everything from prevention and education to nutrition, pain management and spiritual care. We take care of your heart and all that it beats for.

We understand that the impact of heart disease is greater in some communities. Genetics plays a part, but unequal access to great health care is also a factor. At Providence, we make sure each of our patients has access to the best heart care. As part of this commitment, we offer translation services and print publications in multiple languages for our non-English-speaking patients. In keeping with our Mission, Providence offers financial assistance programs that provide free and low-cost care to those who are eligible.

We also prioritize community heart-health awareness through local events and outreach. One example is our Health Equity Hypertension partnership with the American Heart Association.

We value, respect and support the racial, ethnic, religious, spiritual, gender and sexual identities of each member of our diverse community. We aim to treat every patient equally and with dignity – whoever you are, and wherever you are in your journey.

Providence Heart & Vascular Institute of Los Angeles is at the forefront of cardiovascular treatment and therapies. One of our hospitals was the first of two in the world to enroll patients in a clinical trial for a novel stroke prevention device. We were also the first in the nation to complete a commercial implant of WATCHMAN. Both the clinical trial and the WATCHMAN device help reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.

As our patient, you can take part in one of our many clinical trials. These include FDA-regulated trials to develop new cardiovascular therapies. Providence also participates in national cardiovascular data registries to continually improve outcomes and patient care.

Our cardiologists are experts in the most advanced therapeutic and surgical techniques. They take a team-based approach to your heart care, working with some of the best surgeons, heart specialists and nurse navigators in the region. Our team uses minimally invasive procedures whenever possible to improve outcomes and reduce recovery times.

Our Approach Cardiac Services
Our Approach
Put yourself on a path for heart health

Our cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, electrophysiologists, interventional cardiologists and other specialists diagnose and treat a wide range of heart and vascular conditions. 

From arrhythmias and congenital heart disease, to valve disorders and hypertension, we are working to continuously evolve and improve standards of care and outcomes.

Our cardiac services include:

  • Cardiodiagnostic Services
  • Interventional Procedures
  • Electrophysiology
  • 3D Echo
  • Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
  • Valve Repair/Replacement
  • MitraClip: New Procedure Helps Repairs Hearts
  • Cardiac Catheterization Labs - Here, our experienced electrophysiologists and interventional cardiologists perform advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures by threading a catheter through an artery to the heart. This minimally-invasive approach allows innovative solutions to some of today’s common cardiac conditions, such as the placement of a miniaturized, leadless pacemaker to treat atrial fibrillation.
  • Cardiac surgery - We offer one of the state’s most sophisticated surgical settings, including a “hybrid” cardiovascular suite. This cutting-edge suite combines the diagnostic power of 4D imaging with both minimally-invasive interventional procedures and traditional open-surgery techniques in the same procedure. The all-in-one, diagnosis-to-treatment suite incorporates numerous imaging modalities, from dynamic CT imaging to a biplane digital angiography system, while allowing successful treatment of complex or formerly inoperable conditions.
  • Cardiac rehabilitation - This effective multi-phase program offers a carefully designed blend of exercise therapy, education and support to help you recover faster, reduce your future risk, and give you more energy to do the things you love. Our multidisciplinary rehabilitation team includes cardiologists, advance-practice cardiac nurses, exercise physiologists, educators and registered dietitians-each contributing their expertise to help you regain your health and improve your quality of life.

Providence St. Jude Medical Center Leads the Way with Pulsed Field Ablation

Providence St. Jude Medical Center is one of the first hospitals in California to provide pulsed field ablation (PFA), a new treatment for atrial fibrillation (AFib). This minimally invasive treatment uses electrical impulses to destroy the damaged heart cells that cause AFib, an irregular heartbeat that can lead to stroke or heart failure.

Our cardiologists view PFA as a truly groundbreaking procedure because it’s safer, much quicker and more effective for our patients than current ablation treatments.
