Over an average lifetime, the heart beats 2.5 billion times, an astonishing one beat per second of every minute of every day. But though it is a strong, powerful organ, the heart is susceptible to disease and trauma.

The UF division of cardiovascular medicine at Shands at UF offers patient care to adults and children with heart problems.

Ranked 24th in the country’s top cardiovascular programs by U.S.News&World Report, the heart care team utilizes the latest technology to pinpoint and treat all types of heart problems, from arrhythmia and high-cholesterol to bypass surgery and transplant.

The heart care team of University of Florida surgeons and physicians specializes in these areas:

• Noninvasive cardiology and imaging
• Clinical cardiac electrophysiology
• Interventional cardiology
• Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
• Transplant
• Peripheral vascular disease
