Heart and Vascular Conditions

If you begin to experience heart problems, our team has the training and experience to care for you.

Our specialists diagnose and treat a range of heart and vascular conditions including:

Heart Valve Disease

Heart valve disease symptoms, such as shortness of breath and dizziness, can make everyday life difficult. Here you’ll find the heart doctors and treatments to help.

Common heart valve diseases we treat

Heart valve disease can restrict the heart’s ability to pump blood to the rest of the body and can lead to heart failure. Heart valve disease comes from two main problems:

Regurgitation– When valves don’t close completely and cause blood to flow back through the valve. This can lead to volume overload in the heart.
Stenosis– Narrowing of heart valves that limits blood flow out of the ventricles or atria.

Our heart valve treatments include:

Valvuplasty– Using a catheter, a small balloon is placed inside a stiff heart valve to help open it and return normal blood flow.
TAVR– Transcatheter aortic valve replacement places a mechanical valve in the place of a damaged aortic valve and typically involves shorter recovery times than traditional open heart surgery.
TMVR– Transcatheter mitral valve replacement. Treatment for mitral valve regurgitation.

Cardiac arrest

Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart's electrical system malfunctions due to an abnormal, irregular heart rhythm. Knowing how to perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) or use a device called a defibrillator to shock the heart may save a life. It’s vital that normal heart rhythm be restored within a few minutes.

Congenital heart defects

Congenital heart defects, often small holes in the heart, are the most common birth defects. When they require treatment, we offer effective options for a healthy heart and healthy life.

Heart arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation (Afib)

We treat all irregular heart rhythms - fast, slow or abnormal. Our cardiologists offer treatments ranging from medication to surgery to get you and your heart back on beat.

Heart attack

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked. Without quickly reopening the artery, the part of the heart not getting blood begins to die. This is different than cardiac arrest, which occurs when the heart stops beating altogether.

Every minute matters, and our emergency heart care experts are ready. Many of our hospitals are designated as accredited Chest Pain Centers, which have reduced mortality rates compared to non-accredited hospitals.

Heart failure

When you have heart failure, your heart is not pumping blood throughout your body as well as it should. This means that parts of your body are not receiving enough oxygen-rich blood to work normally. This leads to the symptoms of heart failure.

Learn how we treat heart failure.

Heart valve disease

Valves regulate blood flow within the heart. When they’re not working correctly, it causes a number of symptoms. We offer surgical and less-invasive treatments to keep your heart pumping.

High Blood Pressure

There are two types of high blood pressure, primary and secondary. Primary hypertension is a condition that develops gradually with adults and there is no one known cause. Secondary hypertension, however, can come on suddenly and has higher spikes in blood pressure readings than primary hypertension. When you need help managing your high blood pressure, we offer effective options.

Varicose Veins

Varicose veins, also called vein or venous disease, is a condition of the veins in the leg in which the veins become swollen, giving a bumpy and twisted appearance. Varicose veins can cause pain, leg swelling and long term damage.

Learn more about our varicose vein symptoms, diagnostics and treatments.

Vascular and arterial disease

When conditions in your veins or arteries slow you down, treatments from medication to surgery can relieve pain and restore your quality of life.
