World-Class Care for Hearts of Any Age
The Heart Center at Wake Forest Baptist Health provides world-class heart care to patients of any age. For decades, we have treated patients with the most advanced and comprehensive cardiac care.
Twenty-five of our heart and vascular doctors have been ranked among the nation’s best by America’s Top Doctors® and Best Doctors in America®. We offer the very latest in cardiac technology and imaging. We’re also the only area hospital that performs complex surgeries, such as heart transplants.
Patient Anne Howell had suffered for two decades with an enlarged heart, a condition that had already claimed the life of her mother and threatened the health of her sister. “I felt like a 100-year old person; I felt like I had the flu every day,” said Howell. “Just getting out of bed every morning was really tough for me.”
When Anne underwent a heart transplant here at Wake Forest Baptist Health, she didn't just get a new heart; she received a number of intangible gifts—the strength to do everyday tasks, the freedom to set goals, the luxury of watching her two sons grow into young men.
