Fortune and PINC AI named the top cardiovascular hospitals, including teaching hospitals with and without cardiovascular residency programs, and community hospitals.
The rankings focused on short-term, acute care, nonfederal hospitals that treated a broad spectrum of cardiology patients. Hospitals had to provide all forms of cardiovascular care, including open heart surgery, to be included in the study. The final ranking, which is on a scale of one to five stars, was based on measures of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, coronary artery bypass graft and percutaneous coronary intervention. Of 940 hospitals that participated in the study, only 50 were named to the list. Read more about the methodology here.
