Heart Treatment & Procedures
How we can treat your heart condition
When you have heart disease, getting the right treatment quickly is vitally important to increase your chances of survival and spare heart muscle.
Depending on the severity, heart disease is commonly treated using the following methods:
- Noninvasive: Usually involves medication and lifestyle modifications, including diet and exercise.
- Minimally invasive: Includes catheterization, during which a cardiologist accesses the heart through arteries in the legs or arms using only a small incision.
- Surgical: Requires opening the chest to repair damaged heart tissue, valves, vessels or arteries.
The heart and vascular services department at Adventist Health Glendale offers many of these types of treatments for heart patients.
Our heart care professionals perform:
- Cardiac catheterization: Including angioplasty, stent placement, and pacemaker and cardiac defibrillator implantation.
- Cardiac surgery: Including open-heart surgery, beating-heart surgery, endoscopic vein harvesting, valve replacement, etc..
- Electrophysiology: Including atrial fibrillation and ablation treatment with 3D mapping.
- Vascular and neurovascular procedures: Including carotid stenting, aneurysm repair, etc..
