Heart & Vascular

Experience leads to expertise. More patients and procedures add up to fewer complications and better outcomes. The NMMC Heart and Vascular Institute in Tupelo is the most experienced and advanced program in the region.

NMMC-Tupelo offers access to board-certified cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons who are nationally recognized.

Here, unlike other area facilities, we care for heart and vascular patients on dedicated units—the Cardiovascular Nursing Unit, Chest Pain Center, Cardiac Observation Unit or Cardiovascular Step-Down Unit.

Since 1981, NMMC has pioneered many cardiac diagnostic and treatment technologies. We offer this region’s only and one of the nation’s largest cardiovascular research centers, which means that our patients get access to cutting edge, state-of-the-art devices and medications years before they would ordinarily become available. Truly, care here is a step ahead.
