The CardioVascular Institute is dedicated to the detection, prevention, intervention and rehabilitation of heart related diseases. By working closely with the entire Faith Regional health care system, we are able to provide patients with a multidisciplinary approach to care that rivals many major metropolitan cardiovascular centers. We've made cardiac services easier to access. Today they are closer to you, your family and your physician.

Using state-of-the-art equipment and leading-edge protocols, our team of medical staff, nurses and technicians provide patients with a specific diagnosis, the best treatment and greatest possible outcomes for life.

Cardiovascular Care - We offer a wide range of preventive, diagnostic, interventional, and rehabilitative care for coronary artery disease, heart failure and peripheral vascular disease in an inpatient setting.

Diagnostic Services - We pinpoint the right diagnosis through innovative non-invasive imaging techniques, including echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, CT scanning and diagnostic catheterization.

Interventional Care - We focus on cardiac and peripheral procedures, specializing in balloon, angioplasty, stenting and peripheral radiation.

Surgical Care - We have a dedicated cardiovascular team who provides different techniques of coronary artery bypass, including "off pump" and conventional bypass, heart valve repair and replacement, pacemakers, aortic aneurysm, peripheral vascular and thoracic surgery procedures.

Acute Cardiac Care - Our emergency department focuses on the rapid diagnosis of chest pain and accelerated treatment of coronary diseases and acute myocardial infarction (MI).

Medical Team - Our medical staff is made up of board certified specialists including cardiologists, surgeons and anesthesiologists. Assisting the physicians are nurses and technicians from the emergency department, catheterization laboratory, operating room, intensive care and cardiac rehabilitation departments. Our team members are ACLS certified, and many hold advanced credentials.

...close to home.

The success of any cardiovascular procedure depends on how quickly it occurs after a heart attack begins - the more time that passes, the greater the damage to the heart. The CardioVascular Institute ensures that patients in Norfolk and the surrounding communities will be able to receive rapid diagnosis and treatment, therby significantly improving their chances of survival.

Patients and their families no longer have to travel across the state to receive comprehensive cardiovascular care. At Faith Regional, we believe nothing is more comforting to a patient than knowing their care is close to family and home.
