Colorado Heart and Vascular PC (CHV) is a cardiology medical group practice based in the Denver metropolitan area of Colorado, with locations in Westminster, Lakewood, Louisville, Golden, and Longmont.
The practice specializes in cardiovascular care, offering services such as cardiology consultations, echocardiography (IAC-accredited laboratory), and advanced interventions including Impella-supported percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for high-risk patients.
CHV physicians, including interventional cardiologist and advanced heart failure specialist Nima Aghili, MD, MPH, participate in clinical research. Notably, the group was a key site in the STEMI-DTU randomized controlled trial, evaluating left ventricular unloading with Impella CP prior to PCI in anterior STEMI patients, with results presented at the 2026 American College of Cardiology conference.
Also known as Colorado Heart & Vascular.
Neutral trial. 30‑min Impella improved pre‑PCI TIMI flow. Age 61+ trended smaller infarcts. More bleeding/vascular events but no higher 12‑month mortality. Elevated lactate predicted larger infarcts.
