New! Virtual Tour of The Sentara Heart Center

Success is Our Specialty:
When it comes to cardiac care, results mean everything. At the Sentara Heart Center at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital, our success rates surpass national standards. For heart surgery, our mortality rates are far better than national standards reported by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. For interventional procedures such as angioplasty and stents, our cardiologists have a 97% success rate compared with a national standard of 90% from the American College of Cardiology.

Cardiac Superspecialists:
Physician experts who are long standing members of the community staff the Sentara Heart Center at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital. Our heart team includes the same cardiac surgeons and anesthesiologists who practice at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, who achieve national recognition year after year for their clinical quality. Our cardiologists have been leaders in the field, bringing to Hampton Roads the latest research and treatment for people with heart disease.

Cardiac Resource Center:
The more you know about heart disease, the more involved you can be in your own treatment and recovery. The Sentara Heart Center offers educational resources for patients and their family members to learn more about heart disease, heart care and the latest treatments.

The Sentara Heart Center also works closely with volunteers of Mended Hearts Inc., an international support group for cardiac patients, their families and caregivers. To learn more about Mended Hearts, visit their website at http://www.mendedhearts.org
