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.

• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Repair: Open and endovascular (EVAR) repair.
• Carotid Endarterectomy & Stenting: To prevent stroke.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Treatment: Bypass surgery, angioplasty, stenting.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) & Venous Insufficiency Management.

VII. Cardiac Rehabilitation & Prevention

Empowering patients through lifestyle changes and recovery programs.

• Personalized Exercise Programs: Supervised by cardiac rehabilitation specialists.
• Nutritional Counseling: Guidance for heart-healthy eating.
• Stress Management & Lifestyle Modification: Techniques to reduce cardiac risk.
• Smoking Cessation Programs.
• Disease Management Education: Understanding conditions and managing symptoms.
• Preventative Cardiology Clinic: Risk assessment and early intervention for individuals at risk.
