What we do
At Sutter Heart & Vascular Institute, we help people of all ages deal with mild to life-threatening heart conditions. For over 50 years the physicians at Sutter Heart and Vascular Institute have developed breakthrough treatments that have become gold standard for cardiac procedures. Our advanced diagnostic testing and treatment capabilities are among the finest, but they're only part of the comprehensive care we provide. We also offer informative classes, support groups, special events and exercise programs that make our patients part of one of the most capable care teams you'll find anywhere.
