We maintain the lowest mortality rates in the nation

At NYU Langone, our mortality rates are among the lowest in the nation, which is an important measure of quality care.

Take our patients who’ve experienced a heart attack, for example. NYU Langone’s 30-day mortality rate for these patients across all hospitals in the system is an impressive 7.7 percent, significantly lower than the national benchmark of 13.7 percent. We have the lowest heart attack death rate in the country. This outstanding outcome is a direct result of the advanced, team-based care NYU Langone provides.

We continue to expand and enhance our clinical programs, particularly in interventional cardiology, advanced heart failure, and critical care. Whether our patients need a plan to prevent heart disease, a procedure to open a blocked artery or repair a valve, or even a new heart, our specialists work together to provide the best cardiac care possible.
