The University of Vermont Health Network’s cardiology program serves a rural region of more than one million people across Vermont and northern New York, delivering advanced, lifesaving cardiovascular care close to home. Its multidisciplinary team provides the full spectrum of services spanning preventive cardiology, cardiac rehabilitation, cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease, pulmonary hypertension and valvular heart disease. Each year, the program cares for more than 12,000 patients, performs approximately 1,500 coronary interventions and implants over 1,000 pacemakers and defibrillators. UVM Medical Center has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as “high performing” in heart attack and heart failure care, and ranks best in the state for heart care in the 2025–26 rankings. The program is also advancing precision medicine through innovative diagnostic research, including the development of a novel protein-based biomarker test to better predict recurrent heart attack and bleeding risk. In addition, UVM Medical Center is a leading regional provider of minimally invasive tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, improving quality of life while reducing surgical risk and recovery time.
