Cardiovascular clinical trials look at new treatments for heart issues. If rigorous research studies prove these treatments or devices are safe and effective, the Food and Drug Administration allows them to become available.

Ascending aorta replacement is performed when there is aneurysmal enlargement or dissection of the aortic root. The ascending aorta is very often involved in this process.

Tricuspid valve repair/replacement (TVR) are procedures that treat diseases affecting the tricuspid valve. The tricuspid valve helps keep blood flowing in the right direction through the heart.

Cardiac rehabilitation often involves exercise training, emotional support and education about lifestyle changes to reduce your heart disease risk.

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records electrical signals from your heart to check for heart conditions.

An echocardiogram (ECHO) is a test that uses ultrasound to show how your heart and valves are working.

Cardiac stress tests look to find out the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and how tired they feel under different levels of physical activity. The test also involves an electrocardiogram test.

A nuclear medication scan is a special imaging scan that uses a small amount of a radioactive substance to make internal structures, such as bones, organs, and tissues stand out. The radioactive substance is injected, inhaled, or swallowed and collects in a certain area of the body, then the scan is done with special cameras.

A heart, or cardiac, CT scan is used by a physician to view your heart and blood vessels. These scans create detailed images, which can help your doctor to detect any problems.

Emergency is a medical specialty concerned with the care and treatment of acutely ill or injured patients who need immediate medical attention.

Calcium scoring is a test for people who have no symptoms of heart disease but may be at risk for getting it. The test uses computed tomography to check for calcium buildup on the walls of the coronary arteries.

Mitral valve repair/replacement (MVR) may include patching holes in a valve, reconnecting valve leaflets, removing excess valve tissue, replacing cords that support the valve to repair the structural support, and separating valve leaflets that have fused.

An aortic valve replacement is a procedure where the failing aortic valve of a patient's heart is replaced with an artificial heart valve.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a bypass surgery that can create new routes around narrowed and blocked coronary arteries, increasing blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the heart.

Coronary artery bypass graft is a surgical procedure used to treat coronary heart disease. It diverts blood around narrowed or clogged parts of the major arteries to improve blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart.

A catheterization laboratory or cath lab, is an examination room with diagnostic imaging equipment used to visualize the arteries and the chambers of the heart and treat any abnormalities found.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly.

Ablation therapy is a type of minimally invasive procedure physicians use to destroy abnormal tissue that can be present in many medical conditions.

A biventricular pacemaker and ICD is a small, lightweight device powered by batteries. This device helps keep your heart pumping normally.

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator is useful in preventing sudden death in patients with known, sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation.

A loop recorder is a heart-monitoring device that records your heart rhythm continuously. It records the electrical signals of your heart and allows remote monitoring.

A permanent pacemaker is a device that sends small electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate or to stimulate the lower chambers of the heart.

An electrophysiology (EP) study is a test performed to assess your heart's electrical system or activity and is used to diagnose abnormal heartbeats.

Arrhythmia treatment depends on the type and severity of the arrhythmia. Treatment options include: medications, lifestyle changes, invasive therapies, electrical devices or surgery.

Coronary artery disease develops when the major blood vessels that supply your heart become damaged or diseased. Cholesterol-containing deposits in your coronary arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease.

Heart disease in women is just as common as it is in men. According to the American Heart Association, coronary heart disease, a disorder of the blood vessels in the heart, is the leading cause of death for women. Nearly twice as many women will die of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases as from all forms of cancer, including breast cancer.

According to the American Heart Association, disorders of the heart or heart disease, affects about one in three adult men. You can reduce your risk by making healthier lifestyle choices and getting appropriate treatment for conditions that may lead to cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Chandler Regional offers the latest treatment options for people suffering from arterial and vascular disease. Our network of medical, surgical and interventional radiology doctors are leaders in the diagnosis, treatment and research of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), also known as peripheral vascular disease (PVD).

A heart attack happens when the flow of blood in the coronary arteries suddenly becomes blocked and a section of heart can't get enough oxygen.

Through an incision in the chest, surgeons use patches to close the hole. This procedure is the only way to repair primum, sinus venosus and coronary sinus atrial defects.

Chandler Regional’s comprehensive cardiac services include the diagnosis of irregular heartbeats and arrhythmia treatments. The equipment and technology in our electrophysiology lab allows the electrophysiology team to better identify and treat arrhythmia.

Atrial fibrillation (also called AFib or AF) is a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.

Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that occurs when the two upper chambers of your heart experience chaotic electrical signals.
