Center for Advanced Heart & Vascular Care

Refer a Patient for Advanced Imaging Services

The Center for Advanced Heart & Vascular Care at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, is one of the first cardiovascular centers in the world to co-locate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and robotically operated cardiac catheterization lab with hybrid operating room in the same physical suite. This allows for a unique collaboration among our doctors specializing in interventional cardiology, medical cardiology, cardiac surgery, vascular medicine, vascular surgery, cardiovascular anesthesia and advanced cardiovascular imaging.

Imaging Hours (by appointment only):
Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Novel cardiovascular treatments like robotic intervention may require unprecedented anatomic imaging detail at high resolution that is spatially encoded (like a traditional GPS at millimeter resolution) to facilitate. Integrating CT and MRI suites with a structural suite permits us to reimagine imaging guided cardiovascular intervention.

UH physicians can enter orders via the AEMR. MR studies can be performed without contrast by choosing the ‘without contrast’ protocol. Please mention “perform in CAHVC” under Details and Desired Site for Service sections.

Search terms for common investigations are:
