Advanced Heart Care Program

Indiana University Health Cardiovascular's Advanced Heart Care Program (AHCP) focuses on preventing the progression of heart failure and improving the patient's quality of life. AHCP does this by offering the most recent and promising cardiovascular care treatment.

Our programs help patients become active partners in their heart failure treatment. The specialized physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and a dedicated social worker create a unique treatment plan for each patient. This plan includes the most advanced medical therapies as well as cutting-edge innovations in cardiology, mechanical heart assist devices and surgical interventions including resynchronization therapy and heart transplantation.
