About the Rochester Heart Institute

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women. The Rochester Heart Institute is committed to individuals, like you, that are concerned about their heart health and may require specialized cardiac care. The most common forms of heart disease include:

• High blood pressure

Here at RHI, we are recognized across Western New York as a center of excellence in diagnosing, preventing, treating, and managing heart disease and conditions. Every physician and member of our staff is dedicated to help you maintain the highest level of cardiac and overall health. We take pride in providing exceptional, caring and personalized cardiac care to each one of our patients, each and every day

A State-of-the-Art Cardiology Center For Your Cardiac Health

The physicians at RHI have access to many of the most sophisticated, lifesaving treatments and technology for heart disease.

And, as a Cleveland Clinic Heart Surgery Center, our physicians have access to the latest technology and research more rapidly. As a result, we are able to provide you with the best possible interventional (non-invasive) and cardiothoracic (heart and lung), surgical services for your personal cardiac care concerns.

RHI's cardiology center is also the fourth largest in the state. That means we are able to treat more patients, with more personal patient care and the best possible cardiac care services and treatments. We perform more than 1,200 cardiothoracic surgeries and 6,800 invasive cardiac procedures, annually.

We also have a strong focus on prevention and patient education as a part of our cardiac care. Our goal is to help patients protect against heart disease and other health problems. RHI offers a full-service cardiac rehabilitation program where you can receive counseling on diet and nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, stress management, and exercise in a safe and monitored environment following a cardiac event. And because prevention is the best cure for cardiac disease, our team of exercise specialists, registered dieticians, and social workers are available to assist you in learning more about your best defenses against heart disease and stroke and what you can do to keep your heart healthy.
