Heart failure care at Mayo Clinic
Your Mayo Clinic care team
At Mayo Clinic, doctors in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine work with a team of health care provider in many areas to provide you with coordinated care. Mayo Clinic's campuses in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota each offer a Heart Failure Clinic staffed by a team of care providers trained in evaluating and treating heart failure.
If you have other conditions in addition to heart failure, Mayo Clinic health care providers can often evaluate and treat those conditions too. If you have a heart condition that requires surgery, a doctor trained in heart diseases, called a cardiologist, may work with heart surgeons to plan and coordinate cardiovascular surgery.
