Each year, 550,000 people in the United States experience heart failure, the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. As Baby Boomers age, that number will skyrocket. To meet this rising demand for specialized heart failure therapy, the Jefferson Heart Institute of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital has established the Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplant Center.

In addition to tailored, aggressive heart failure therapy, Jefferson’s Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplant Center provides patients with “one-stop shopping” for all cardiac needs. Our depth and breadth of expertise and resources means we can provide access to the full spectrum of life-saving heart care, ranging from the least-invasive drug therapies to state-of-the-art surgery, including transplants.
