Rhode Island Hospital’s prominence in cardiac care was established decades ago when we became the first hospital 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, Rhode Island Hospital has 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 continue the tradition of innovative treatment through research and renowned quality care as the largest acute hospital in the state. We provide comprehensive health care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We treat more than 19,000 cardiac patients a year, delivering a range of services from preventive medicine through invasive and noninvasive procedures to surgery and rehabilitation. Our patient volume and continually improving patient satisfaction ratings have earned Rhode Island Hospital a reputation as one of the best cardiac care providers in New England.
