Angina
Angina Pectoris
Angina pectoris (or simply angina) is chest pain or discomfort that keeps coming back. It happens when some part of your heart doesn't get enough blood and oxygen. Angina can be a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Aortic Aneurysm
Arrhythmia
Arrhythmias
An arrhythmia is an abnormal heart rhythm that can cause problems with the contractions of your heart chambers. An arrhythmia occurs when there is a problem with the electrical system that is supposed to regulate a steady heartbeat. With an impaired electrical system, your heart may beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly.

Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a type of thickening or hardening of the arteries caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery. It can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other circulatory conditions.

Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial Septal Defect Repair
Atrial Septal Defect Transcatheter Repair for Children
Atrial septal defect (ASD) transcatheter repair is a procedure to fix a hole in the atrial septum. The atrial septum is a wall that separates the right and left upper chambers in the heart (atria). This hole is called an atrial septal defect or ASD. Your child will not need an incision in the chest wall for this procedure.

Cardiac Catheterization
Cardiac Catheterization
In cardiac catheterization (often called cardiac cath), a very small hollow tube, or catheter, is advanced from a blood vessel in the groin or arm through the aorta into the heart. Once it is in place, several diagnostic and treatment procedures can be done using catheterization.

Cardiac CT Angiography
Computed Tomography Angiography
CT angiography is a type of medical test that combines a CT scan with an injection of a special dye to produce pictures of blood vessels and tissues in a part of your body.

Cardiac Imaging
Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy
Any disorder that affects the heart muscle is called a cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy causes the heart to lose its ability to pump blood well. In some cases, the heart rhythm also becomes disturbed. This leads to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats).

Cholesterol
Cholesterol in the Blood
The cholesterol in your blood comes from the foods you eat and your liver. Your liver makes all of the cholesterol your body needs. It helps your body make cell membranes, many hormones, and vitamin D.

Congestive Heart Failure
Heart Failure
When you have heart failure, the heart is not able to pump as well as it should. Blood and fluid may back up into the lungs (congestive heart failure), and some parts of the body don’t get enough oxygen-rich blood to work normally.
Learn more >
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Heart Disease
A person with coronary heart disease has an accumulation of fatty deposits in the coronary arteries. These deposits narrow the arteries and can decrease or block the flow of blood to the heart.

General Cardiology
Home Page - Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases include coronary heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and rheumatic heart disease.

Heart Valve Disease
Hypertension
High Blood Pressure/Hypertension
Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls. The force is created with each heartbeat as blood is pumped from the heart into the blood vessels. Blood pressure is also affected by the size of the artery walls and how elastic they are. Each time the heart beats (contracts and relaxes), pressure is created inside the arteries. High blood pressure, or hypertension, increases the risk for coronary heart disease (heart attack) and stroke (brain attack).

Intermittent Claudication
Claudication
Claudication is pain in your thigh, calf, or buttocks that happens when you walk. It may be a symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD). This is when narrowed or blocked arteries reduce the blood flow to your legs.

Invasive Cardiac Interventions
Ischemia (Heart)
Nuclear Cardiology
Nuclear Stress Testing
Stress Myocardial Perfusion Scan
Myocardial perfusion is an imaging test. It's also called a nuclear stress test. It is done to show how well blood flows through the heart muscle. It also shows how well the heart muscle is pumping.

Patent Foramen Ovale Repair
Patent Foramen Ovale Transcatheter Repair
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a small hole between the 2 upper chambers of the heart, the right and the left atrium. Patent foramen transcatheter repair is a procedure to fix this hole in the heart.
Learn more >
Pulmonary Hypertension
Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH)
Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is high blood pressure in the lungs. It's a rare lung disorder in which the blood vessels in the lungs narrow and the pressure in the pulmonary artery rises far above normal levels. Pulmonary hypertension is a chronic and life-changing disease that can lead to heart failure if it's not treated.

Syncope
A Serious Look at Fainting
Fainting (syncope) is a brief loss of consciousness. This leads to falling down or needing to lie down, followed by a quick recovery. Fainting by itself is not a problem, but it could be a sign of a serious health condition.

Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)
Transthoracic Echocardiography
Transesophageal Echocardiogram
A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) uses echocardiography to assess how well the heart works. During the procedure, a transducer (like a microphone) is lowered into the esophagus. It sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard. When the transducer is placed at certain locations and angles, the ultrasonic sound waves move through the skin and other body tissues to the heart tissues, where the waves bounce or "echo" off of the heart structures.
