UPMC Bolsters Cardiac Services at UPMC Hanover With New MRI

UPMC

March 17, 2025

HANOVER, Pa. – UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute in Central Pa. is now offering cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at UPMC Hanover’s Hillside Medical Center at 250 Fame Ave. Hanover, Pa.

“We are pleased to add cardiac MRI testing to our array of services at UPMC Hanover,” said Gagandeep Singh Gurm, M.D., medical director of the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute, Southern Region of UPMC in Central Pa. “This represents a significant step forward in our commitment to offering state-of-the-art care to our patients. With cardiac MRI, we can better tailor treatments to individual needs and improve overall outcomes.”

Patients who are best suited for a cardiac MRI are those who have previously suffered a heart attack and/or are experiencing:

  • Chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting
  • Cardiomyopathy, or heart muscle disease
  • Ventricular arrhythmia, or a heart rhythm disorder that originates in the ventricles
  • Congenital heart defects, or heart problems present at birth
  • Blood clots or tumors in the heart

Offering this service closer to home for patients who reside in Hanover and neighboring York and Adams County communities will eliminate their need to travel for advanced care.

Pioneers in cardiovascular health since 1956, doctors at the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute in central Pennsylvania were the first in the region to perform open-heart surgery and the first to perform coronary artery balloon angioplasty. Other firsts include the implantation of a drug-eluting coronary stent, percutaneous (minimally invasive) aortic valve procedures (TAVR), and the implantation of an FDA-approved percutaneous mitral valve repair device. UPMC’s vascular surgeons are experts at providing exceptional care through both vascular and endovascular techniques.
