U.S. News evaluates a hospital's performance in treating patients with challenging heart conditions such as advanced cardiovascular disease and other complex conditions.

Hospitals are evaluated on 30-day survival; patient satisfaction; the proportion of patients who were discharged home after treatment (rather than going to another care facility); the quality and level of nurse staffing; advanced programs and technologies such as transplant programs; patient services such as cardiac rehabilitation and hospice; and other measures of care.

You can also assess a hospital's performance in specific cardiac procedures, such as:

-- Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

-- Aortic valve replacement surgery.

-- Cardiac bypass surgery.

-- Congestive heart failure.

-- Heart attack.

-- Transcatheter aortic valve repair, or TAVR.
