Cardiology
Cardiology is the medical treatment of diseases of the heart and parts of the circulatory system. Cardiologists are the doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating these conditions.

Services and treatments for cardiovascular conditions
We offer minimally invasive and advanced options for heart treatment, including:
Diagnosing heart and vascular conditions
Successful treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. So, in addition to complete physical exams, we offer full-service imaging technologies to guide your diagnosis. For heart and vascular conditions, our physicians use specialized technologies, including:
- Angiography
- Cardiac catheterization
- Echocardiography (echo)
- Electrocardiography (EKG or ECG)
Electrophysiology (EP) services
EP studies can be used to both diagnose and treat issues of the heart's electrical system. When your heart's electrical system is not functioning correctly, your heart rhythm becomes irregular. These abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), can lead to fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath and heart attacks. In our EP department, we can determine the source of these symptoms and perform procedures to resolve some arrhythmias.
Cardiac catheterization
In our cardiac catheterization laboratory (cath lab), our heart specialists open narrowed or blocked arteries to restore normal blood flow. During these procedures, a physician will insert a catheter (thin, flexible tube) through a blood vessel using live X-rays (fluoroscopy) as a guide.
Our cardiac catheterization procedures include:
- Balloon valvuloplasty: opens malfunctioning heart valves using a tiny balloon
- Coronary atherectomy: removes plaque from vessel walls
- Intravascular ultrasound: produces images of vessel walls using high-frequency sound waves
- Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): treats narrowing (stenosis) of the coronary arteries, either with or without a stent
Minimally invasive vascular surgery
Our cardiovascular surgeons offer minimally invasive surgeries for many heart and vascular conditions. Potential benefits of these types of procedures include:
- Less pain and trauma
- Shorter hospital stay and recovery time
- Smaller incisions
