U.S. News & World Report has published its annual list of the country’s top hospitals for cardiology and heart surgery.
Cleveland Clinic is once again ranked No. 1, a position it also held in the company’s rankings from 2020-2021 and 2021-2022.

To craft its rankings, U.S. News examined outcomes data and other key details from 800 different hospitals in the United States. A detailed explanation of the company’s process is available here.
