The top US hospitals for cardiology and heart surgery
U.S. News has released its 2021-2022 rankings of the nation’s top hospitals, publishing a comprehensive list broken down by clinical specialties.
"This year's expanded report from U.S. News includes new ratings for important procedures and conditions to help patients, in consultation with their doctors, narrow down their choice of hospital based on the specific type of care they need," Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis for U.S. News, said in a prepared statement.
One of the many categories the organization focused on is cardiology and heart surgery. To develop that ranking, the organization analyzed data from 592 hospitals, tracking data associated with everything from heart transplants and implantable devices to the treatment of "complex conditions such as endocarditis, heart failure and circulatory issues."
In that cardiology and heart surgery category, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and Cornell all maintained their positions from 2020-2021 as the top four facilities. NYU Langone Hospitals, meanwhile, replaced Massachusetts General Hospital in the No. 5 slot.
According to U.S. News, these are the top 10 hospitals in the United States for cardiology and heart surgery:
1. Cleveland Clinic – Cleveland, Ohio
2. Mayo Clinic – Rochester, Minnesota
3. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center – Los Angeles, California
4. New York-Presbyterian Hospital- Columbia and Cornell – New York, New York
