Wake Forest University/Baptist Hospital Heart Center
The Heart Center was among the first in the nation to investigate the use of new technologies for the treatment of coronary disease including intravascular echocardiography of the coronary arteries, laser angioplasty, stents, and radio frequency ablation of arrhythmia sites. The Center's newest program provides hope for critically ill patients awaiting heart transplants. Mechanical heart pumps are being successfully used to keep the patients alive until a donor heart can be found. The Heart Center treats patients of all ages - a team of pediatric cardiologists serves seven clinic sites in northwest North Carolina and southern Virginia.
