Nationally Ranked in Cardiology

UT Southwestern Medical Center is recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation's top 20 hospitals for cardiology, heart, and vascular surgery. And six of our procedures and areas of care – abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, aortic valve surgery, heart attack, heart bypass surgery, heart failure, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) – have earned a "High Performing" rating from U.S. News.
