A healthy heart is essential for a healthy life


The heart, a muscular organ responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, plays a vital role in supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs. Maintaining a healthy heart is vital for your overall well-being and longevity. By taking preventive measures and focusing on your cardiovascular health you can decrease your risk of various heart diseases, including heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension.

SUNY Upstate Medical University recognizes the importance of heart health. We offer comprehensive services to promote cardiovascular wellness and treat heart-related conditions.
