A Dedicated Team - Bringing Innovation to Women’s Heart Program
Our cardiovascular group strongly focuses on improving outcomes for women with heart disease. Piedmont Heart Institute has established a team of women’s heart experts who care for women with heart conditions and issues in a more holistic way.
