At University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview, we offer one of the most inclusive heart care programs and use the latest in heart care technology and medical research to treat our patients.

Our physicians and surgeons use leading edge technologies including robotic heart surgery, minimally invasive valve replacement, and cardiac imaging technologies available in only a few other centers in the United States. Our patients have access to the latest clinical trials including stem cell studies, mechanical heart assist device trials, and innovative drug therapy applications.
