  • 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.
    Learn more >
  • 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.
