Heart and Vascular Care

Cardiac rehabilitation

Cardiac rehabilitation is an exercise program used to help improve the heart of your health, which is supervised by medical professionals in the hospital and outpatient setting.

Congestive heart failure

Our congestive heart failure program is dedicated to managing your heart care after discharge from the hospital through extensive education and medication management together with nursing support.

Cardiac device management

The device clinic manages and monitors the way your pacemaker or defibrillator functions, in addition to placing short-term cardiac monitors that look for abnormal heart beats.

Echocardiogram

Echocardiogram is an imaging system that uses sound waves to take a picture of your heart.

Cardiac specialists use echocardiograms to identify heart disease.

Electrophysiology

Electrophysiology studies electrical activity and rhythm of the heart, including heart interventions such as pacemakers, implantable cardiac defibrillators and cardiac ablation.

Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO)

The Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) procedure is a one-time, minimally invasive procedure for people with atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem (also known as non-valvular AFib) who need an alternative to blood thinners. The implant fits right into the left atrial appendage (LAA) of the heart, and is designed to permanently close off the LAA and keep blood clots, which may cause stroke, from escaping.

Open heart surgery

Open heart surgery is a type of heart surgery where the chest is cut open to fix damaged muscles, arteries or valves of the heart. Common examples of open heart surgery are coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

Peripheral and cardiac catheterization

Cardiac catheterizations is a procedure used to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease with the goal of improving blood flow to your heart to your heart or extremities.

Stress testing

A stress test is used to determine how your heart responds to stress, using either a treadmill or medication to exercise your heart.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure that replaces an aortic valve that does not function properly, called aortic stenosis.

Traditionally, treating aortic stenosis has required open heart surgery.

Significant advancements in cardiovascular medicine allow the TAVR procedure to be performed in a catheterization lab without open heart surgery and shorter recovery times.
