Specialized Cardiology Services

We offer many tests, treatments, and other services that are not widely available in the region, including:

Heart Failure Clinic

St. Peter’s Health Partners is a top-ranked program for heart failure according to U.S. News & World Report. We deliver therapies, like left ventricular assist devices, that help your heart do its job. And our dedicated heart failure clinic makes it easier to receive ongoing personalized care.

Interventional Cardiology

Our specialists can use narrow tubes (catheters) and tiny instruments instead of open surgery to diagnose and treat complex conditions, like structural heart disease. And our reputation for excellent results draws patients from across the Capital Region and beyond.
