Our comprehensive heart program brings together cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and a state-of-the-art Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU), allowing patients to receive high-quality heart care close to home.

Our heart specialists deliver personalized, compassionate care using advanced technology and evidence-based treatments, supporting patients from diagnosis through recovery.

A Growing Heart Team with Expanded Expertise

To meet the increasing need for heart care in Jackson and surrounding communities, we have expanded our established heart team with additional cardiology expertise. This growth allows more patients, including those with complex heart conditions, to receive advanced cardiac care locally rather than traveling outside the region.

Meet the newest physicians on our Jackson team:

• Hossein Amirjamshidi, M.D. – Cardiac Surgery
• Alexandra Corrado-Kittel, D.O. – Cardiology
• John Sallach, M.D. – Cardiology

Innovative Treatments

Henry Ford Jackson Hospital offers a full range of cardiovascular treatments and heart surgery, including:

• Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
• Heart valve repair and replacement
• Mechanical ventricular assist device (VAD) placement
• Treatment for heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias
• Medically supervised cardiac rehabilitation

Our goal is to ensure everyone has access to life-saving heart procedures in the Jackson community and beyond.

Advanced Cardiac Recovery and CVICU Care

Following heart surgery, patients recover in our Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU), where dedicated intensivists provide specialized monitoring and post-operative care. When needed, we offer extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), an advanced life-support system that temporarily supports heart and lung function during critical recovery periods.

Our cardiac rehabilitation program provides medically supervised exercise, education, and support to help patients rebuild strength, improve heart health, and reduce the risk of future cardiac events.
