Mercy Heart and Vascular - Fort Smith

Comprehensive Heart and Vascular Care In Fort Smith

We’re proud to serve the Fort Smith community with a $10 million Heart & Vascular Center.

Heart issues aren’t something you plan for, but you want a health care team who does. Our expanded team of cardiac experts includes local cardiologists, as well as cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons – each one working to bring you complete care – including the prevention, detection and treatment of heart and vascular diseases. Cardiovascular and interventional cardiology physicians help patients manage a variety of conditions including abnormal heart rhythms, congestive heart failure, coronary artery and valve disease, heart attack, heart failure, high blood pressure, heart murmurs and peripheral artery disease. They perform life-saving procedures such as cardiac catheterization, angioplasty and stent placements.

Cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons treat disorders of the heart, lungs, esophagus and aorta in the chest. Our surgeons are trained in nationally recognized programs. They use minimally invasive procedures to shorten your hospital stay and recovery time.

Dedicated Heart and Vascular Center

We use a variety of testing, monitoring and advanced imaging studies to diagnose and treat cardiovascular issues.

There are many different kinds of heart conditions. Some happen quickly and demand immediate attention. Others require ongoing care over a long period of time.

It’s the same high-level care you’d find in a larger city – without the drive to get there.
