View Heart & Vascular Services | Explore Clinical Trials & Research

For more than 40 years, Cone Health has helped change how the world treats heart disease, starting with a new approach to heart attack care that became the global standard. Today, that same spirit fuels groundbreaking research, new advanced treatments and pioneering prevention programs to stop heart disease in its tracks.

Inspired to Lead, Every Day, by Asking What’s Best for Our Patients  

Cone Health is pioneering the future of cardiovascular care, led by cardiologists, vascular and thoracic surgeons who are passionate about delivering the best care available for their patients. As national leaders in their fields, our heart and vascular physicians and care teams have conducted more than 600 clinical trials, ensuring patients in central North Carolina and beyond benefit from new standards of care for heart attacks, heart disease, vascular care, heart failure, heart rhythm disorders and more.

A Legacy of Patient-Centered Innovation  

In the 1980s and 90s, Cone Health physicians challenged outdated heart attack treatments and proved a better way—using balloon angioplasty to open blocked arteries and save lives. That work helped establish the approach now used around the globe, placing the Triad at the heart of a worldwide transformation in emergency heart care. Today, our research builds on that legacy with studies in medications, devices, imaging and new procedures—bringing new therapies to patients locally years before they become widely available.

Defining a New Era in the Prevention of Heart Disease 

Cone Health is at the forefront of heart disease prevention, combining comprehensive risk screening, genetic assessments, nationally leading imaging to detect heart disease earlier and groundbreaking preventive care research. Our goal is simple: help people understand their risk, make personalized plans and act sooner to protect their heart health. With first‑in‑North Carolina technology, robust clinical trials and a leading prevention program we’re helping patients slow and even stop the development of heart disease.

World Class Care, Strengthened by Community Support   

Cone Health’s more than $200 million investment in new heart and vascular facilities—supported by transformative gifts from Steven and Jackie Bell and Norman and Sylvia Samet —is reshaping cardiovascular care for the Triad and beyond. These resources help us attract and retain top clinical talent, expand research and bring next‑generation technologies to patients first in our region. We invite you to join us in investing in the future of heart and vascular care right here in the Triad.
