      What We Offer: A Full Spectrum of Cardiac Care

      Our comprehensive program covers the entire continuum of cardiac care, featuring:

      I. Advanced Diagnostic & Imaging Services

      Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective treatment. We utilize state-of-the-art technology to precisely assess heart function and identify cardiovascular conditions.

      • Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG): Non-invasive test to record the electrical activity of the heart.
      • Echocardiography (Echo): Ultrasound of the heart to visualize its structure and function.
        • Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE)
        • Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)
        • Stress Echocardiogram
      • Cardiac Stress Testing:
        • Treadmill/Exercise Stress Test
        • Pharmacologic Stress Test (Dobutamine, Adenosine)
      • Cardiac CT Angiography (CCTA): Detailed imaging of coronary arteries to detect blockages.
      • Cardiac MRI (CMR): Advanced imaging for heart muscle, valves, and blood flow assessment.
      • Holter & Event Monitoring: Long-term rhythm monitoring to detect arrhythmias.
      • Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring: To assess blood pressure patterns over 24 hours.
      • Vascular Ultrasound: For carotid arteries, peripheral arteries, and veins.

      II. Interventional Cardiology

      Minimally invasive procedures to treat coronary artery disease, valve disorders, and structural heart defects.

      • Coronary Angiography & Stenting: Opening blocked coronary arteries with balloons and placing stents.
      • Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR/TAVI): Non-surgical aortic valve replacement.
      • MitraClip™ Procedure: Minimally invasive repair for mitral valve regurgitation.
      • PFO/ASD Closure: Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defects.
      • Peripheral Angiography & Stenting: Treating blockages in arteries outside the heart.
      • Renal Denervation (for resistant hypertension): Investigational treatment for severe high blood pressure.

      III. Cardiac Electrophysiology (EP)

      Specialized care for heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias).

      • Electrophysiology Studies (EPS): Detailed mapping of the heart's electrical system.
      • Cardiac Ablation (Radiofrequency & Cryoablation): Correcting abnormal heart rhythms like Atrial Fibrillation, SVT, and Ventricular Tachycardia.
      • Pacemaker Implantation: For slow heart rhythms (bradycardia).
      • Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation: For life-threatening fast heart rhythms.
      • Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT): For heart failure patients with specific electrical conduction abnormalities.
      • Leadless Pacemakers: Minimally invasive pacemaker technology.

      IV. Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery

      Expert surgical interventions for complex heart and lung conditions.

      • Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): Traditional and minimally invasive bypass surgery.
      • Heart Valve Repair & Replacement: For aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves (surgical and transcatheter options).
      • Aortic Surgery: Repair of aneurysms and dissections of the aorta.
      • Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: For valve repair/replacement and CABG.
      • Congenital Heart Defect Repair: For adult patients with congenital heart disease.
      • Thoracic Surgery: Lung cancer surgery, esophageal surgery, and other chest conditions.

      V. Heart Failure Management & Advanced Therapies

      Dedicated services for patients living with heart failure.

      • Comprehensive Heart Failure Clinic: Multidisciplinary management, medication optimization.
      • Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs): Mechanical circulatory support for advanced heart failure.
      • Heart Transplant Evaluation & Support: Preparation for and post-transplant care.
      • Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic: Specialized treatment for high blood pressure in the lung arteries.

      VI. Vascular & Endovascular Surgery

      Diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting arteries and veins outside the heart.
