More options for managing high blood pressure

Piedmont helped pioneer renal denervation, a new treatment option.

While needing treatment for a heart condition can be stressful, our mission is to help you feel understood, supported and empowered by your treatment options. As a leading destination for minimally invasive cardiology procedures, we offer easy access to quality care close to home.

A multidisciplinary treatment approach

Our interventional cardiologists are experts in minimally invasive heart care. They partner with heart surgeons or other specialists when needed to create the right treatment plan for you. 

Heart care without major surgery

Our interventional cardiologists treat blocked arteries and other heart conditions using minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures that can reduce pain and speed recovery. 

Advancing the field of interventional cardiology

As pioneers in renal denervation (RDN), we offer an innovative treatment option for patients with difficult-to-control high blood pressure. 

As specialists in complex coronary artery disease, we care for patients with complex conditions like chronic total occlusions (CTOs), including those who may have been told they have few treatment options. Piedmont Heart is one of the nation's highest-volume centers for CTO revascularization. 

Piedmont Heart is helping to shape the future of interventional cardiology through research, leadership in professional societies and training the next generation of physicians.
