Your heart care: Conditions we treat

Your heart works hard, pumping blood, oxygen and necessary nutrients throughout the body. When you have a heart condition, you deserve the highest-quality care available so you can get back to the activities you love.

If you have unexplained symptoms, such as fatigue or shortness of breath, it could be a sign of a heart problem. Don’t hesitate to make an appointment with one of our providers.

We treat the full range of heart conditions, from high cholesterol to complex heart rhythm issues, including:

Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as coronary heart disease (CHD)

The narrowing of the arteries supplying blood and oxygen to the heart muscle, usually related to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)

Heart valve disease

Any problem in function of the heart valves, which control blood flow through the heart muscle

Arrhythmia

An irregular heartbeat, usually rapid, such as atrial fibrillation

Angina

The sensation of chest pain, often feels like squeezing or pressure

Heart failure

The inability of the heart to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs

Heart attack

When the flow of blood to the heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked
