In the early 1960s, the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital opened one of the first cardiovascular wards in the country. Now, almost 50 years later, Brigham and Women’s Hospital continues this tradition with the new Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center.

Brigham and Women’s Hospital can boast a bold history of firsts in cardiovascular care including the world’s first mitral valve operation, the opening of the first cardiovascular intensive care unit, and the first heart transplant in New England.
Yet perhaps our latest first is one that will have the most lasting impact. With the opening of the Carl J. and Ruth Shapiro Cardiovascular Center, Brigham and Women’s Hospital emerges a world leader in cardiovascular care and research, supporting an integrated care model in a single location. This technologically advanced facility provides the most collaborative and comprehensive care available anywhere.
The Shapiro Cardiovascular Center is but one way in which Brigham and Women’s Hospital continues to lead and set the pace for change in health care - in this case, ushering in a whole new era for cardiovascular care and research.
