Our cardiovascular care program at HCA Florida JFK Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute

Together, heart doctors at our cardiac center of excellence work with you to deliver truly comprehensive heart care — from prevention and diagnosis to treatment and recovery.

Heart testing services and cardiac catheterization

An accurate diagnosis is the first step in our treatment of advanced heart conditions. The right diagnosis sets the foundation for your treatment plan, from prescribed medications to surgery and recovery. We offer a range of cardiac diagnostic imaging and tests at our facility, and our hospital is also home to a cardiac catheterization laboratory (cath lab) where we perform minimally invasive diagnostic heart exams and treatment procedures.

Specialized heart and vascular care

Our heart program at HCA Florida JFK Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of:

  • Heart arrhythmia: We offer advanced treatment options for heart arrhythmias in our Electrophysiology Lab, which is why our lab is one of the most-used labs in the region.
  • Heart attack: JFK Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute is the first in the county to receive full accreditation by the American College of Cardiology as an Accredited Chest Pain Center.
  • Heart failure: Our complete heart imaging services aid in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure, including congestive heart failure (CHF).
  • Stroke care: We are recognized as a Thrombectomy Capable Stroke Center by The Joint Commission. It acknowledges our compliance with stringent national standards and superior outcomes for people who experience strokes.
  • Specialized vascular care: Our hospital's cardiovascular doctors also provide medical intervention for conditions affecting the veins and arteries. This includes care for atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and related conditions and diseases, such as peripheral vascular disease (PVD).

Heart and vascular surgery

JFK Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute is one of the most extensive cardiovascular surgical programs in Florida. Our surgeons perform a range of valve replacement and repair procedures, bypass surgeries, cardiac ablations and innovative structural heart procedures, such as the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). They stay on the forefront of new heart and vascular surgery techniques so we can offer the latest treatments to you.

Cardiovascular rehabilitation program

Our cardiac rehabilitation program is designed for patients recovering from a heart attack, heart surgery or stable angina and certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. We offer a safe, controlled environment to help your heart begin to recover and rebuild strength.

Cardiac research

Through our active participation in some of the country’s leading clinical trials, we’re able to provide cutting-edge treatments and procedures to our patients. Our collaboration with many of our physicians has enabled us to participate in over 200 clinical trials.

We are participant in the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISRP), an independent non-profit organization with the purpose of educating the public, patients, medical/research communities, media and policymakers to promote greater understanding and awareness of clinical research participation and the role it plays in public health.
