Expert Care for People with Heart Failure

Heart failure is a long-term chronic condition that that occurs when your heart can’t pump blood well enough to meet all of your body’s needs. With the proper treatment and partnership with heart failure experts, people can feel better and live longer.

Board-certified cardiologists collaborate with various specialists to help adults manage heart failure and most types of cardiomyopathy with the right balance of medicine, positive lifestyle choices and monitoring. When someone has advanced heart failure, Wellstar offers specialized expertise and leading-edge interventions, such as left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.

Clinical trials

The Wellstar Research Institute works closely with our team and select national partners to offer cardiac clinical trials. We participate in more than 20 cardiac-related clinical research studies at a given time, giving our patients access to advanced treatments close to home. For more information about clinical trials, please talk with your Wellstar physician.

Certifications & recognitions

Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center is the first in Georgia and the fourth in the nation to receive the highest certification in cardiovascular care—the Comprehensive Cardiac Care Center Certification—by The Joint Commission and American Heart Association.

As a Center of Excellence designated by the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association, Wellstar is one of the leading locations offering comprehensive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy care in metro Atlanta.
