Fifty years ago, University of Minnesota physicians performed the world's first successful open-heart surgery.  The lives of people with heart disease the world over were changed for the better.  Revolutionary discoveries to treat heart attack, heart disease and stroke have continued at the University of Minnesota, including the first functional heart lung machine, the first successful artificial heart valve, the first portable pacemaker, and Minnesota's first heart transplant. 

Today, that spirit of innovation continues at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview.  No matter who needs heart care - your child, your parent, spouse or you - and no matter what is needed - early diagnosis, ongoing heart disease treatment, emergency care for chest pain or heart attack, by-pass surgery or heart transplantation - Minnesota's heart leaders provide cardiac care second to none.
