Cardiology Services at Rhode Island and The Miriam Hospital

We are committed to providing leading-edge cardiovascular care, close to home. Rhode Island and The Miriam hospitals offer patients renowned physicians, highly skilled and experienced nurses, the best and latest technology and an environment that’s most conducive to recovery.  

Our prominence in cardiac care was established decades ago when we became the first in the region and the third in the United States to use an EKG machine to test the electrical activity in the heart. Since then, we have been the first in New England to perform routine tests such as outpatient cardiac catheterization and the first in the state and one of the first in the country to perform coronary angioplasty. 

We provide the highest level of care, whether your needs are consultative, diagnostic, interventional, surgical or rehabilitative. Our physicians have the experience and expertise to provide you with the best in cardiovascular care. Our cardiovascular specialists work as a team, across all disciplines, combining their expertise to provide an individualized treatment plan for each patient. 

Should you have any questions about our services or community educational events or for physician information or referrals, please call 401-444-2728 or 1-888-401-6255.
