About Mount Sinai Heart

Mount Sinai Heart opened its doors in May 2006, marking a new chapter in the history of cardiovascular medicine.

Behind the leadership of founding director Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, Professor of Cardiology and a past president of the World Heart Federation, Mount Sinai Heart's integrated approach to care has invigorated the science of cardiovascular medicine. Dr. Fuster's vision embraces collaboration and brings together the expertise of internationally renowned physicians, researchers, and educators with advanced clinical services and forward-thinking research.

Our mission is to dramatically improve the heart health of our patients, members of the surrounding community, and those in the global community.

Our physicians, surgeons, scientists, nursing staff, and technicians are committed to discovering new and improved methods of diagnosing, treating, and preventing the spectrum of diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels.

Our multidisciplinary effort brings together the expertise of Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Mount Sinai Hospital in the areas of cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, medical education, research, and community service, with state-of-the-art imaging and patient care facilities, advanced laboratories for scientific research, and leading programs for postgraduate education of clinician-scientists.
