An angioplasty is a procedure to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. These blood vessels are called the coronary arteries.
-
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram (ECHO) is a test that uses ultrasound to show how your heart and valves are working.
-
Embolization
Embolization is a treatment that is designed to block the flow of blood in one or more blood vessels. This minimally invasive procedure requires the use of a catheter to deliver an embolizing agent into the target blood vessel and stop blood flow, such as to a tumor, between abnormal connections between veins and arteries, or to prevent abnormal bleeding.
-
EKG

-
Heart surgery
Heart surgery it used to correct problems with the heart if other treatments haven't worked or can't be used.
-
Pacemaker devices checks
Pacemaker devices checks should be done on a regular schedule. The first check should be done six weeks after implantation and then every three to six months thereafter to ensure the battery is functioning properly.
-
CABG
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.
-
TAVR
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly.
-
Radiofrequency Ablations
Radiofrequency ablation is a procedure that may reduce pain. A radio wave produces an electrical current, which heats up a small area of nerve tissue and curbs pain signals from that area.
-
Aneurysms
An excessive localized enlargement of an artery caused by a weakening of the artery wall. The most common culprits are atherosclerosis and high blood pressure.
-
Angina
A condition marked by severe pain in the chest, often also spreading to the shoulders, arms, and neck, caused by an inadequate blood supply to the heart.
-
Heart failure
Heart failure is a progressive condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
-
Pericarditis
Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium, which is the sac that surrounds the heart. This inflammation can be caused a heart attack or an infection. However, in many cases the cause is unknown.
-
Vasculitis
Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels that causes changes in the blood vessel walls causing the walls to thicken and narrow, cutting off blood supply to tissues and organs.
-
Atrial Flutter
Atrial flutter is a heart rhythm disorder in which the upper chambers of the heart, known as the atria, beat to quickly. This causes a rapid heartbeat that typically beats in a steady, regular rhythm.
-
Heart murmur
Heart murmurs are sounds made by turbulent blood in or near the heart. A doctor can hear these sounds with a stethoscope.
-
Irregular Heartbeat
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
Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that occurs when the two upper chambers of your heart experience chaotic electrical signals.
-
Cardiac arrest
Cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function. It can come on suddenly or in the wake of other symptoms. Cardiac arrest is often fatal if appropriate steps aren't taken immediately.
-
Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a condition caused by high blood pressure in the arteries that carry blood from your heart to your lungs. In patients with pulmonary hypertension, the heart has to work harder to pump blood to the lungs. Over time, pulmonary hypertension can weaken the heart and, ultimately, cause heart failure. Untreated, pulmonary hypertension is almost always fatal.
-
Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic progressive condition that affects the pumping power of your heart.
-
Afib
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.
-
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis refers to the buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on your artery walls (plaque), which can restrict blood flow.
-
Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial infarction, more commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when there is little to no blood flow to the heart. This causes damage to the heart and can result in death. The most common symptom of a myocardial infarction is chest pain that may radiate to the shoulder, arm, back, neck or jaw.
-
Arrhythmias
An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slowly, or with an irregular rhythm.
-
Occlusions
Occlusions occur when the blood vessels are partially or completely blocked. This blockage is most often caused by a blood clot or the buildup of plaque in the artery. This can cut off the blood flow to the brain, heart, or extremities, causing conditions such as vision loss (occlusion in the eye), chest pain, stroke, heart attack, and limb pain and numbness.
-
Pericardial Effusion
Pericardial effusion is a condition in which fluid builds up in the space between the heart and the pericardium, which is the sac that surrounds the heart. This can put pressure on the heart, preventing it from pumping as it normally would.
-
Stemi
ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is an incredibly serious form of heart attack that is caused by the complete and prolonged blockage of one of the major arteries of the heart. This type of heart attack is often lethal.
-
Ventricular Tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia is a condition defined by a rapid heartbeat that begins in the heart's lower chambers, known as the ventricles. Ventricular tachycardia is diagnosed when a person has three or more quick heartbeats in a row and more than 100 beats per minute.
-
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic progressive condition that affects the pumping power of your heart.
-
Atrial Fibrillation (Afib)
Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that occurs when the two upper chambers of your heart experience chaotic electrical signals.
-
Heart Attack
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.
-
Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the name for the group of disorders of heart and blood vessels. The risk of certain cardiovascular diseases may be increased by smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, and obesity.
-
Heart Disease
Heart disease affects the heart or blood vessels and is when a blood clot can form on the plaque, blocking the flow of blood.
-
Lipid Disorders
Lipid disorders is a group of disorders defined by the high levels of lipids, or fats, in the blood. If you have a lipid disorder, it means you may have high levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) cholesterol and high levels of triglycerides in your blood. this can increase your risk of heart disease.
-
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
High blood pressure/hypertension is when the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your blood vessels is consistently too high.
-
Stroke
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted, preventing the brain from getting oxygen and nutrients.
