## What We Do

US Heart & Vascular is a physician practice management platform focused on enabling **independent cardiologists** to thrive and grow by improving patient care and reducing costs to the healthcare system.

Unlike hospital-owned cardiology groups, US Heart & Vascular keeps cardiologists independent — meaning patients benefit from physician-directed care decisions without hospital system overhead.

## Services

Cardiology services available through US Heart & Vascular partner practices include:

- **Preventive cardiology** — risk assessment, cholesterol management, hypertension treatment
- **Diagnostic testing** — EKG, echocardiography, stress testing, Holter monitoring, cardiac CT, cardiac MRI
- **Interventional cardiology** — cardiac catheterization, angioplasty, stent placement
- **Electrophysiology** — arrhythmia management, pacemaker and defibrillator implantation, ablation

## Why Independent Cardiology Matters

- **Physician-directed decisions** — your cardiologist makes care decisions based on what's best for you, not hospital revenue targets
- **Lower costs** — independent practices typically have lower facility fees than hospital-owned groups
- **Continuity of care** — see the same cardiologist consistently rather than rotating hospital staff
- **Access** — shorter wait times and more flexible scheduling than large health systems
- **Value-based care** — focus on outcomes and prevention rather than volume of procedures
