Join Us for the 7th Annual Pittsburgh Heart Summit
The Pittsburgh Heart Summit is a premier event designed to empower physicians and physician extenders, fostering collaboration among professionals in surgery, cardiology, and pulmonology. This dynamic gathering equips healthcare providers with essential tools to enhance teamwork in the care of patients with cardiovascular and thoracic diseases.

Now in its 7th year, the Summit continues to advance the team-based approach to patient care. Physicians rarely have the opportunity to engage in interactive, cross-specialty discussions on current, guideline-based treatments. The Summit fills that gap—encouraging collaboration, improving team dynamics, and creating space to exchange expertise across disciplines. Participants will gain practical strategies to strengthen clinical efficiency and promote patient safety.

The 2025 program will feature some of the most renowned names in cardiology and cardiac surgery, bringing together diverse perspectives from the Western Pennsylvania medical community. Attendees—including regional physicians, physician extenders, and healthcare providers—will engage with acclaimed speakers through a robust lecture series, resident research presentations, and interactive faculty discussions held live at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

Key Objectives:

• Advance Team Concept: Our summit is dedicated to advancing the team concept of patient care. We recognize the importance of collaboration and aim to provide practical tools for healthcare professionals to seamlessly work together.

• Interactive Guideline Discussions: Physicians often lack opportunities to interactively discuss current guideline-based care with surgeons and cardiologists. The summit creates a platform for engaging discussions, facilitating the exchange of insights and best practices.

• Enhance Team Dynamics: Encouraging improved team dynamics is a core focus. We believe that a cohesive healthcare team leads to better patient outcomes. Attendees will explore ways to strengthen communication and cooperation among different specialties.

• Compare Cooperative Expertise: The summit provides a unique opportunity to compare cooperative expertise. Surgeons and cardiologists can share their experiences, learn from each other, and discover innovative approaches to patient care.

• Education for Collaboration: Physicians and healthcare providers will gain valuable insights into working collaboratively for improved patient safety and clinical efficiency. The summit is committed to providing education that translates into tangible improvements in healthcare delivery.
