Virginia Heart

What Virginia Heart does

Virginia Heart is a private, physician-owned cardiovascular medical practice headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, operating as the largest provider of cardiovascular services in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area by patient volume. The practice delivers the full continuum of cardiovascular and sleep medicine across general cardiology, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology/heart rhythm, advanced heart failure, structural heart, peripheral vascular disease, adult congenital heart disease, women's heart health, preventive cardiology, and a board-certified sleep center. The clinical platform spans 10-13 Northern Virginia office locations plus hospital affiliations at 7 systems (predominantly the Inova network, plus Virginia Hospital Center, Reston Hospital Center, and StoneSprings), and is supported by EpicCare electronic medical records (deployed via the Inova partnership in 2021), the MyChart patient portal, a Cardiac Monitoring Center remotely monitoring nearly 4,000 implantable cardiac device patients, and a CardioMEMS heart failure remote monitoring program covering 238 patients.

The clinical team includes 51-60 board-certified cardiologists, 3-4 board-certified sleep physicians, and 25-30+ advanced practice providers, with subspecialty depth that includes rare credentials such as Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology board certification. Procedural volume is substantial: 5,000+ interventional procedures and 3,200+ cardiac catheterizations annually, 1,800+ electrophysiology procedures and 1,027 ablations (including 734 atrial fibrillation ablations) in 2025, and a 95%+ success rate on opening blocked arteries. The practice sees 100,000-130,000+ patients annually, including 9,000+ new patients per year.

Revenue is generated through insurance-billed clinical services (office visits, diagnostics, interventional and electrophysiology procedures, device implants, advanced heart failure care, and sleep medicine) across most major regional payors, with co-pays collected at time of service and the practice filing claims on behalf of patients. The go-to-market is primarily sales-led via physician referrals, supplemented by direct-to-consumer channels including a patient-facing website with video education library, earned media (Fox 5 DC, WTOP FM), and regional 'Top Doctors' recognition (Washingtonian, Arlington Magazine, Northern Virginia Magazine, Virginia Living, Castle Connolly). An affiliated 501(c)(3), the Virginia Heart Community Foundation, supports community health initiatives, and an in-house Research Center participates in site-based clinical trials. The practice was founded in approximately 1983 and is led by President & CMO Dr. Ketan K. Trivedi alongside CEO Audrey L. Fisher, CFO Teresa Strausbaugh, and COO Leslie Schultz.
