The Baylor Scott & White Heart & Vascular Institute in the Greater Austin region provides patients with access to advanced cardiac therapies at facilities throughout our service area.

An ever-growing need

Changing demographics have increased the need for high quality heart and vascular care in the Greater Austin region as more families move to the area and a large portion of the population enters retirement age.

How Texas compares:

20th in the nation for heart disease related deaths

22nd in the nation for adults who have been diagnosed with heart disease or stroke

About the Heart & Vascular Institute

The Baylor Scott & White Heart & Vascular Institute in the Greater Austin region provides our patients with access to advanced cardiac therapies at facilities throughout our service area.

Our vision is to serve our community as the leading provider of cardiovascular services, with high standards of patient care, patient outcomes and patient experience.

How you can help

Your gifts could support important needs such as:

Advanced facilities

Catheterization laboratories (cath labs) for minimally invasive tests and procedures that can be performed with a catheter and usually do not require general anesthesia
Cardiothoracic surgery suites for more complex and invasive procedures, such as open heart surgery, or those requiring general anesthesia

Specialized equipment

Cardiac mapping system that uses special catheters to create a 3D map of the electrical activity in a patient’s heart to help physicians visualize the areas that may be causing an arrhythmia
Echocardiogram and vascular sonography equipment that use sound waves to create images of the heart or blood vessels
Nuclear medicine cameras that can help physicians detect issues with organ function by using a small amount of radioactive material that accumulates in areas of the body where there could be disease or abnormality
CT scanner and cardiac MRI scanner that produce detailed images of the heart, arteries and valves and can help physicians evaluate heart function, structural issues or tissue damage
Electrophysiologic ablation equipment to treat abnormal heart tissue that can cause faulty electrical signals and irregular heartbeats
