A diagnosis of heart disease can be scary, but you're not alone. We're lucky in Maine to have a comprehensive heart center that is centrally located and that specializes in high-tech, quality cardiac care. For more than 35 years, The Heart Center of Eastern Maine, located at EMMC in Bangor, has been delivering exceptional cardiac care that inspires confidence from patients and their families and respect from our peers.

Our team of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, who are each Board Certified and together represent more than 250 years experience, is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. The depth of our expertise means we are ready for virtually any healthcare need - anticipated or unanticipated. Our dedication to innovation allows us to provide groundbreaking treatments, clinical trials and best practices in quality of care to our patients.

We are one of only three centers in Maine to perform emergency cardiac catheterization during a heart attack and we're on the leading edge of new techniques for cardiac patients. EMMC recently instituted a therapeutic hypothermia protocol which means we cool patients to a precise temperature using special equipment to preserve brain function in the hours after cardiac arrest. Equally important is our commitment to the care our patients receive after they go home. Our team at Cardiac Wellness of Maine, a state-of-the-art cardiac rehabilitation and prevention facility, is specially trained to work with cardiovascular patients who are on the road to recovery.

From prevention education to diagnosis to treatment to rehabilitation, the Heart Center of Eastern Maine is your comprehensive heart center in the heart of Maine.
