Open Heart Surgery in Oklahoma: What to Know
Oklahoma, unfortunately, faces a high heart disease mortality rate, but its cardiac care is robust.

For adults, INTEGRIS Health Heart Hospital in OKC offers the state's only advanced cardiopulmonary program with heart and lung transplants, and ranks in the nation's top 10 for LVAD implants.
