We focus on helping you stay ahead of heart disease through early detection and personalized care plans. Our approach emphasizes proactive care to reduce long-term cardiovascular risk and support overall wellness.

Services Include:

Cardiovascular care for patients with diabetes
Cardiovascular risk assessments
Cholesterol and lipid management
High blood pressure (hypertension) management, including advanced monitoring and treatment options
Preventive imaging, including coronary calcium scoring and carotid ultrasound

Non-Invasive Cardiac Diagnostics

Our advanced imaging and diagnostic tests help evaluate heart function and detect conditions without the need for surgery. These tools allow our cardiac imaging specialists to make accurate diagnoses and deliver effective treatment plans.

Services Include:

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scans, including coronary CT angiography and calcium scoring, plaque analysis and ischemia CT analysis
Cardiac Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detailed heart structure and function evaluation
Echocardiogram, including contrast and strain imaging
Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG)
Exercise treadmill stress testing
Nuclear cardiology imaging (cardiac pyrophosphate (PYP) SPECT scan)
Stress cardiac MRI
Stress echocardiography
Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) with 3D imaging

Cardiac Catheterization & Interventional Cardiology

Our team uses minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat heart conditions, often reducing the need for open-heart surgery. These techniques can improve patient outcomes and shorten recovery times and hospital stays.

Services Include:

Coronary physiology and functional testing
Diagnostic cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography
Intravascular imaging

Interventional Treatments:

Atherectomy and calcium-modifying therapies
Coronary stents (including drug-eluting stents)

Advanced Support Therapies:

Mechanical circulatory support, including the Impella® device and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Structural Heart Program

We provide leading-edge, minimally invasive treatments for structural heart conditions. Our team specializes in advanced procedures that may offer alternatives to traditional open-heart surgery.

Services Include:

Closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO)
Left atrial appendage closure (WATCHMAN ™ implant device)
Mitral and tricuspid valve repair (transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) or MitraClip. ™)
Paravalvular leak repair
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

Electrophysiology (Heart Rhythm Care)

Our specialists diagnose and treat heart rhythm disorders with advanced testing and device-based therapies. We offer a range of monitoring options to detect and manage irregular heart rhythms. Continuous and extended monitoring helps capture symptoms that may not appear during a standard cardiology visit.

Device monitoring and management, including remote monitoring
Event monitoring
Extended wear patch monitors
Holter monitoring
Implantable loop recorders
Mobile cardiac telemetry
Pacemaker implantation, including leadless devices

Genetic testing for inherited heart conditions
Remote monitoring with the CardioMEMS ™ HF System
Treatments for cardiomyopathies, including cardiac amyloidosis, cardiac sarcoidosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and more

Advanced Care Options:

Cardiac biopsies
Evaluations for advanced therapies, including left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) and heart transplants
Outpatient medication therapies
Specialized cardiac catheterization testing

Vascular Medicine & Peripheral Care

We diagnose and treat conditions affecting the blood vessels throughout the body. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and improve overall circulation.

Services Include:

Peripheral angiography and other minimally invasive treatments
Stents, drug-coated balloons and other advanced therapies
Vascular testing, including ankle-brachial index (ABI) and ultrasound

Dedicated Cardiovascular Care Just for Women

Our Women’s Heart Center focuses on heart conditions that uniquely affect women, with personalized care at every stage of life. Through our specialized all-women team, we can address gender-specific risk factors and symptoms that are often underrecognized.

Services Include:

Advanced diagnostic cardiac imaging
Cardiac care for high-risk pregnancies
Evaluation and treatment of microvascular disease, coronary vasospasm and other cardiovascular conditions that are more common in women
Preventive heart health consultations

Cardio-Oncology

For oncology patients, our team works closely with your care team to monitor and protect your heart during and after cancer treatments. This coordinated approach helps reduce cardiovascular risks associated with cancer therapies.

Services Include:

Advanced imaging for early detection
Heart failure management during cancer care
Monitoring for chemotherapy-related heart effects
