Florida Hospital has been a national leader in the fight against heart disease since 1967, when we first opened our Cardiovascular Institute. Today, we are providing state-of-the-art care in several locations, handling common cardiac diseases and the rarest of heart problems.

We receive more than 70,000 cardiac-related visits annually, with more than 25,000 individuals being treated for chest pain across our eight emergency rooms. A comprehensive team approach to patient care is one reason we have such a superior cardiac program.

Opportunities are often available in our Cardiac Cath and EP Labs, Cardiac Medical and Cardiovascular Surgical units. In fact, our nurses help to perform over 1,700 cardiac surgeries a year, including valve repair/replacement, heart remodeling, ascending arch aneurysms, MAZE and more.

The cardiovascular team also participates and collaborates in prominent cardiac research studies, actively exploring new treatment options and cutting-edge technologies
