Interventional Cardiology Conditions Treated
Coronary Artery Disease is the narrowing of the coronary arteries, the tubes which supply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen.
- Symptoms: Angina (intermittent chest pain), shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, and or weakness
Valvular Heart Disease involves heart valves that are not working correctly to regulate the flow of blood through the heart chambers.
- Symptoms: Shortness of breath, chest pain, swelling of the ankles and legs, fatigue, dizziness, and/or fainting.
Peripheral Vascular Disease involves the other arteries that run throughout your body. Like the coronary arteries in your heart, these vessels can become clogged and hardened through atherosclerosis, and can increase your risk for high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke, or limb loss.
- Symptoms may also include pain in the leg muscles (particularly calves and thighs) and/or severe aching pain in your toes or feet at night.
Congenital Heart Disease involves abnormal development of the heart. A hole in the heart may lead to heart failure or a stroke.
- Symptoms: Shortness of breath, chest pain, swelling of the ankles and legs, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, stroke.
