Florida Heart & Vascular Institute was founded with a simple goal: to give patients direct access to experienced cardiovascular care in a setting where physicians remain closely involved in every stage of the journey.
From preventive cardiology and advanced diagnostic testing to interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, vascular care, and ongoing disease management, our team provides coordinated heart and vascular services across multiple Florida locations.

Leadership That Puts Patients First

Built for Advanced Cardiovascular Care
Modern Technology. Specialized Facilities. Patient-Focused Care.
From cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology to advanced imaging and vascular diagnostics, FHVI invests in technology and clinical environments designed to support precise evaluation, minimally invasive treatment, and a better patient experience.
Advanced Cardiac Catheterization Labs
Our cardiac catheterization labs help evaluate blocked or narrowed heart arteries and support minimally invasive treatment when appropriate. Using advanced imaging and catheter-based techniques, our team can assess blood flow, identify coronary artery disease, and help determine the right next step in your care.
Electrophysiology Technology
If you are experiencing palpitations, irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or other rhythm-related symptoms, our cardiac electrophysiology technology helps evaluate how your heart’s electrical system is functioning. Advanced mapping and monitoring tools support the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias and other heart rhythm disorders.
Advanced Cardiac Imaging
Cardiac imaging helps your care team see how your heart is structured, how well it is functioning, and how blood is moving through it. Depending on your needs, testing may include echocardiography, cardiac PET imaging, and other cardiovascular diagnostic studies to support an accurate evaluation and informed treatment plan.
Vascular Imaging & Diagnostics
Vascular imaging helps evaluate circulation and identify problems that may be affecting blood flow to your legs or other parts of the body. Tests such as vascular Doppler ultrasound can help assess narrowed or blocked vessels and support the diagnosis of peripheral vascular conditions.
Patient-Centered Cardiovascular Facilities
Our facilities are designed around the patient experience, with a focus on comfort, privacy, accessibility, and coordinated care. From your first evaluation through diagnostic testing, treatment, and follow-up, our goal is to make cardiovascular care easier to understand and more convenient to access.
