Health Information

Specialties 

We are nationally recognized for high-quality heart and vascular care, as well as patient safety. Our Heart and Vascular services provide advanced care with seamless coordination in the following specialty areas:

Prevention

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help you prevent heart and vascular problems. Be sure to consult with your primary care provider before making any major lifestyle changes. A heart healthy lifestyle includes:

  • A healthy diet
  • Limited alcohol consumption
  • A healthy cholesterol level
  • A healthy weight
  • Normal blood pressure
  • Reduced stress
  • Plenty of regular physical activity
  • Not smoking or vaping

Symptoms

Symptoms of heart and vascular conditions vary widely and some conditions display no symptoms, that’s why it’s important to visit your primary care provider regularly. Heart and vascular symptoms that require immediate attention include:

  • Chest pain
  • Dizziness
  • Fainting
  • Fatigue
  • Fluttering in the chest
  • Leg pain
  • Palpitations
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Shortness of breath
  • Swollen legs

Diagnostics and Testing

Our certified technologists and registered nurses use the latest equipment and a variety of diagnostic testing options to determine if you have certain cardiac conditions, the severity, and the most effective treatment plan.

Diagnostics and testing procedures include:
