CARDIOVASCULAR INSTITUTE OF THE SOUTH

While most leading medical centers are located in a single facility within a large city, CIS and its staff of nearly 450 dedicated team members and approximately 34 physicians bring comprehensive cardiovascular care close to home by serving patients in 12 locations throughout south Louisiana.

The institute is a world-leader in treating peripheral arterial disease. CIS offers a comprehensive heart and vascular program that includes specialized medical professionals trained in nuclear cardiology, electrophysiology, prevention services, and lipid management, as well as interventional cardiovascular procedures. CIS has made significant contributions to the development of non-surgical treatments for cardiovascular disease. Because the institute is on the leading edge of technology in this field, patients can be assured that each case is thoroughly reviewed and all available treatment options are considered. CIS is constantly expanding services to meet the medical needs of the population. The institute offers the fastest computed tomography (CT) scan system available and trains others from across the nation in its use.
