Arizona Heart Institute is a cardiovascular medical center in Phoenix, Arizona, United States. Arizona Heart was the country’s first freestanding outpatient clinic solely dedicated to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart and blood vessel disease.

History

Arizona Heart Institute was founded by Edward Diethrich[1] in 1971.

In 2009, the institute paid the American Federal government USD$675 000 in re-imbursement for ten carotid artery stenting procedures which were billed to, but not covered by, Medicare.[2]

The Institute filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2010, ultimately being entirely sold to Vanguard Health Systems's subsidiary company Abrazo Health Care.[3][4][5][6] Purchasing the Arizona Heart Institute lead Abrazo to begin clinical trials at other facilities it owned as well.[7]
