The Mid America Heart Institute (MAHI) is a specialist hospital located in Kansas City, Missouri. It is one of the first and largest hospitals dedicated to cardiovascular care. MAHI is a subsidiary of the not-for-profit Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City and is part of Saint Luke's Health System. The Heart Institute is affiliated with the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine and has earned certification as a Comprehensive Cardiac Center from the Joint Commission.

The Mid America Heart Institute was commissioned in 1975 to meet the growing demand for heart procedures in the Kansas City area. Construction began in 1979 and the institute was dedicated in 1981. In 1990, an additional five stories were added to the facility. In 2011, a new $330 million building was opened to accommodate the expanding needs of the Heart Institute.

The Mid America Heart Institute is housed in a 10-story facility that includes cardiovascular and cardiothoracic intensive care units. It features five cardiac catheterization laboratories, two electrophysiology laboratories, four cardiac surgical suites, post-procedure recovery units, and cardiac rehabilitation services. The institute also offers dedicated cardiac imaging suites for echocardiography, nuclear imaging, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Additionally, it houses a world-class research facility with clinical and basic science faculty, as well as a full research and statistical support staff.
