  • Regional and national leaders: Barnes-Jewish Hospital and St. Louis Children’s Hospital have received national recognition from U.S. News & World Report. We stand out for our expertise in cardiology and heart surgery as well as heart attack and heart failure care.  

  • Specialized expertise: Heart specialists from several teams work together to plan your care. With experts in cardiology, heart surgery, interventional cardiology and electrophysiology, all the care you need is in one place.  

  • Focus on prevention and early diagnosis: Our heart doctors focus on detecting cardiovascular problems as early as possible. We offer robust services for heart disease prevention and advanced diagnostic testing. We make a care plan tailored to your needs if you are at risk for heart complications.  

  • Convenient care: We have skilled heart doctors at locations throughout St. Louis and the surrounding areas. We make high-quality care convenient and accessible wherever you live in the region.  

  • Range of treatments: We excel in both open and minimally invasive surgeries. We can treat many cardiovascular conditions, such as valve disease or blocked arteries, using catheters (thin, flexible tubes). You can recover faster, with less downtime and pain. Our surgeons also routinely perform major open-heart surgeries for complex heart conditions.
