cardiac care patients

Thinking smart about heart care means partnering strong.

Columbus Regional Hospital has partnered with Indiana University Health Cardiovascular, nationally recognized for heart surgery by U.S. News & World Report, to give patients in our Heart & Vascular Center access to an expert team of cardiac surgeons.  Cardiac surgeons work together with cardiologists at Indiana Heart Physicians – Columbus to ensure our patients have access to the very best heart care close to home, all at Columbus Regional Hospital.

In addition to heart surgery, Columbus Regional Hospital is the only hospital in the area to do non-surgical intervention for heart attack patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

Coping With Lung Diseases


The Heart & Vascular Center at Columbus Regional Hospital is the area's only hospital to offer comprehensive heart care services including heart surgery, cardiac intervention and catheterization, electrophysiology, and cardiac rehabilitation. 


Having advanced cardiac care available in our community makes it easier on heart care patients and families. It's also important in cardiac emergencies when every minute counts.

The Heart & Vascular Center offers a specialized cardiac intensive care unit for those who require hospitalization; two state-of-the-art cardiac operating rooms; three cardiac catheterization labs, including the first all digital cardiac catheterization lab in Indiana; and an electrophysiology laboratory.

Cardiac Care

In addition to heart surgery, The Heart & Vascular Center provides emergency heart care and non-invasive testing, such as EKG, Holter monitoring, echocardiography, nuclear cardiology stress testing and vascular screening, along with cardiac catheterization and cardiac rehabilitation.   The center offers interventional cardiology procedures such as angioplasty and stenting, as well as the implantation of pacemakers and defibrillators, electrophysiology studies and ablation.

The Heart Failure Clinic

At the Heart Failure Clinic, specially trained nurses, dietitians, social workers, pharmacists, and doctors help congestive heart failure patients through monitoring and education.

Cardiac Rehabilitation Services

Comprehensive heart care at the Heart & Vascular Center includes cardiac rehabilitation. Our extensive cardiac rehabilitation program is provided by trained nurses and exercise physiologists who are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). Our cardiac rehabilitation program uses education, exercise and nutrition to improve cardiovascular fitness.
