A healthy heart is at the center of your overall well-being, and we’re here to help keep it strong. Our award-winning cardiologists offer expert, compassionate care to help you stay well and recover with confidence.

If you need help with your heart, we’re here to provide truly personalized care that’s guided by the latest research. Some of the most common conditions we treat include:

• Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) – An arrhythmia is a condition that can cause your heart to beat too quickly, too slowly or at an irregular pace. Our experts often start by monitoring your heart to learn more about how your arrhythmia behaves. This means they can make the best recommendations for arrhythmia treatments, including medications or more advanced procedures.
• Coronary artery disease – Coronary artery disease is caused by plaque buildup within the walls of your arteries. This narrows the space for blood to flow and can cause conditions like heart attacks and heart failure. Our team focuses on restoring and improving circulation through a personalized combination of lifestyle guidance, medications and minimally invasive procedures such as angioplasty and stenting when needed.
• Congenital heart disease – Congenital heart disease is when the heart doesn’t develop normally before birth. Whether diagnosed in infancy or adulthood, we provide specialized care to manage blood flow and heart function. Treatment may include lifelong monitoring, medication or advanced interventions designed to correct or improve heart structure and performance.
• Congestive heart failure – Your heart pumps blood through your body to make sure that you get enough blood flow and oxygen. Heart failure occurs when your heart isn’t able to keep up with the amount of oxygen your body needs. Our dedicated Heart Failure Program works to address heart failure and get you back on your feet.
• Valvular heart disease – Your heart opens and closes four valves to control the flow of blood through your heart and to keep it moving in the right direction. Valvular heart disease, or heart valve disease, weakens these valves’ ability to open and close properly. This harms your heart’s ability to pump blood through your body. Our team of heart health experts will run specialized tests to identify the cause of your heart valve disease.

No matter what type of heart condition you’re facing, our specialists bring trusted expertise and genuine compassion to your care. You can expect personalized care based on your condition, your lifestyle and what matters most to you. Common treatment options include:

Heart medicines treat conditions that put strain on your heart, making it easier for your heart to pump blood effectively. These medicines may be used to lower cholesterol, prevent blood clots, lower blood pressure and treat heart failure.

While there are many types of heart medications available, the ones we most commonly prescribe are:

• ACE inhibitors, which lower blood pressure
• Antiarrhythmics, which help control irregular heartbeats
• Beta-blockers, which slow the heart rate and reduce how hard the heart has to work
• Blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelets), which help prevent blood clots
• Cholesterol-lowering medications, including statins

When your heart needs extra support, medical devices can help it beat more steadily, pump more efficiently and stay on track. We’re always advancing care based on the latest research, and the following are some of the devices and procedures that may be recommended based on your condition.

• Angioplasty and coronary stents, which open narrowed or blocked arteries to improve blood flow
• Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators, which help regulate or restore a normal heart rhythm
• Implantable heart failure monitoring systems (such as CardioMEMS™) that help detect and manage heart failure before symptoms worsen
• Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve and improve blood flow

Advances in heart care mean more treatment options than ever, many without the need for major surgery. Our experts will help you find the right approach for your condition. Options may include:

• Catheter ablation, which treats abnormal heart rhythms by correcting faulty electrical signals
• Transcatheter valve repair procedures (such as MitraClip™)
• Laser lead extraction, which is a specialized procedure to safely remove or replace implanted cardiac leads when needed
• Cardiac rehabilitation, which is a supervised program that helps you recover, strengthen your heart and reduce future risk

Our team of heart surgeons performs thousands of surgeries each year, using the latest surgical techniques to correct and restore function to the heart. Heart surgery can treat conditions like blocked or clogged heart arteries and veins, valve issues, congenital heart defects, abnormalities of major arteries (such as the aorta) and heart failure.

• Aortic surgery
• Aortic valve repair
• Aortic valve replacement
• Coronary bypass surgery
• Left atrial appendage ligation
• MAZE procedure for atrial fibrillation
• Mitral valve repair and/or replacement
• Pulmonic or tricuspid valve surgery
• Release of pericardial constriction
• Repair and correction of congenital aortic valve problems
