Each year, 1 in every 3 Americans die from cardiovascular disease, making it the nation\u2019s leading cause of death. In addition, by 2035, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 45 percent of Americans will have some form of cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n<p>Strong\u2019s cardiovascular program is a model of excellence in the region and in the country. The heart transplant program is on pace with the country\u2019s busiest.

As of 2023, the team has performed 350 transplants, and is on track to reach 40 transplants in by the end of the year, a 60 percent increase from the prior year. These numbers surged in September 2023 when the team performed 10 heart transplants in an intense 20 days and even partnered with the kidney transplant team to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urmc.rochester.edu\/news\/story\/dual-organ-transplant-at-strong-memorial-hospital-saves-young-woman\">provide one patient with both organs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Medicine leadership recognizes the great need in the Rochester community for cardiovascular care and its close link with first-rate emergency medical services. As part of the expansion project, Strong will have four floors dedicated to cardiovascular care: one for the cardiac intensive care unit, and three for advanced heart failure\/heart transplant, heart replacement therapy, cardiology, cardiac surgery, and vascular surgery patients. Each floor will have more than 25 individual rooms. This increased capacity will enable cardiovascular teams to serve a greater number of patients, but with the most innovative care coupled with the personal attention and accessibility that is often not possible at heart centers in major metropolitan areas.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1346&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; mkd_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1676567868863{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;background-color: #00205b !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Elevators will bring visitors up to patient rooms and the new cardiovascular pavilion.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;75px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f4f4f4&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; box_shadow_on_row=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2086&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; mkd_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;8px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"utopia\"><span style=\"color: #00205b; background: #ffc70a; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; font-size: 32px; font-weight: 600;\">25 Years. 392 Hearts.
