Cardiology

If you or a loved one has severe symptoms, such as swelling or chest pain, and traditional treatments fail to provide relief, you may be experiencing advanced heart failure.

Although advanced heart failure cannot be cured, treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve your heart's function. Our dedicated cardiology team offers an array of care options that can be personalized to your individual needs. Some treatment options may include:

• Coronary angioplasty
• Coronary artery bypass graft
• Heart transplant
• Installation of permanent implantable devices
• Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
• Traditional heart surgery

We offer a range of advanced and minimally invasive cardiac imaging services to assess your heart and vascular health and guide your personalized treatment plan. These services include:

• Cardiac catheterization
• Cardiac event monitoring
• Peripheral vascular angiography
• Coronary artery disease screening
• Echocardiograms
• Electrophysiology testing
• Electrocardiograms (EKGs)
• Tilt table testing
• Stress testing, including nuclear stress testing

We are here to support you and provide high-quality, emergency care when every second counts. Our ER is staffed 24/7 with board-certified emergency physicians specially trained in diagnosing and treating cardiac emergencies.

Heart attack symptoms

When experiencing symptoms of a heart attack, it is important to take them seriously and to know what they are and what to do. Receiving care within the first two hours of a heart event can minimize damage and improve outcomes.

The signs of a heart attack include:

• Anxiety
• Back pain
• Chest pressure, squeezing or discomfort
• Fatigue
• Feeling of fullness
• Jaw pain
• Nausea
• Pain that travels down one or both arms
• Shortness of breath

If you suspect you are having a heart attack, immediately call 911.

Our electrophysiologists provide compassionate care for heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation (AFib) and atrial flutters. Some potential treatment options include medications, catheter ablation and inserting devices such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).

We offer catheter-based procedures for valve disease or other structural heart conditions. Our experts specialize in the following:

• Complex coronary artery interventions with atherectomy
• Mechanical circulatory support
• Patent foramen ovale closure
• Percutaneous aortic valve implantation (TAVR)
• Stenting for coronary artery obstructions
• Transcatheter mitral valve interventions

These minimally invasive treatment options offer many potential benefits, including less scaring and a shorter recovery period.
