Cardiac Treatment Services

Coronary Artery Disease – Managing Blocked Arteries

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the most common heart conditions, caused by plaque buildup in the arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart. CAD can result in angina (chest pain), shortness of breath, and heart attacks. At Venocure, we offer comprehensive treatments, including lifestyle modifications, medications, and interventional procedures to restore healthy blood flow and prevent complications.

Cardiac Stents – Restoring Blood Flow to the Heart

For patients with severely narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, cardiac stents are a vital treatment option. During a minimally invasive angioplasty procedure, a small mesh tube (stent) is placed inside the artery to keep it open and improve blood flow. This procedure helps prevent heart attacks, reduce chest pain, and improve overall heart function.

TAVR – Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis

For patients suffering from aortic stenosis, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a groundbreaking minimally invasive procedure that replaces the diseased aortic valve without the need for open-heart surgery. TAVR is an excellent option for patients with severe aortic stenosis who may not be candidates for traditional surgery, improving quality of life and heart function with a shorter recovery time.

PFO Closure – Treating Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO)

A Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a small hole in the heart that does not close properly after birth. While many people with a PFO experience no symptoms, some may develop migraines, strokes, or blood clots. At Venocure, we offer PFO Closure, a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure that seals the hole, reducing the risk of stroke and other complications.

Pacemaker Implants – Regulating Irregular Heartbeats

For patients with bradycardia (slow heart rate) or arrhythmias, a pacemaker implant is a highly effective treatment. A pacemaker is a small device placed under the skin that helps regulate heartbeats and prevent dangerous slow heart rhythms. Our team at Venocure specializes in pacemaker implantation and management, ensuring that your heart maintains a healthy and consistent rhythm.

Congestive Heart Failure – Personalized Treatment Plans

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) occurs when the heart cannot pump blood effectively, leading to fluid buildup, swelling, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Our cardiologists develop individualized treatment plans using a combination of medications, lifestyle changes, and advanced therapies to help manage CHF symptoms and improve heart function and quality of life.

Atrial Fibrillation – Managing Irregular Heart Rhythms

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is a common irregular heart rhythm that increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and blood clots. At Venocure, we offer a range of AFib treatments, including medications, catheter ablation, and lifestyle interventions to help restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce the risk of complications.

Valvular Heart Disease – Treating Damaged Heart Valves

Valvular heart disease occurs when one or more heart valves become narrowed, leaky, or damaged, affecting blood flow. Our specialists provide comprehensive treatment options, including medications, valve repair, and valve replacement procedures such as TAVR to ensure optimal heart performance and long-term health.

Angioplasty for Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO)

Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) is a complete blockage of a coronary artery that can cause severe chest pain and reduced heart function. Our expert cardiologists perform angioplasty for CTO, a minimally invasive procedure that restores blood flow using specialized catheters, guidewires, and stents, improving heart health and reducing symptoms.

Cardiac Testing Services

EKG – Quick and Essential Heart Rhythm Evaluation

An electrocardiogram (EKG) records the heart’s electrical activity and helps detect irregular heartbeats, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions. This quick and painless test is often the first step in diagnosing heart problems.

Holter & Event Monitors – Long-Term Heart Rhythm Tracking

For patients with intermittent heart palpitations or unexplained dizziness, a Holter or Event Monitor provides continuous heart rhythm tracking over 24 hours to several weeks, helping to diagnose arrhythmias and heart rate abnormalities.

Echocardiogram – Imaging the Heart’s Function

An echocardiogram (Echo) is an ultrasound of the heart that provides real-time images of heart chambers, valves, and blood flow, helping diagnose heart failure, valve disease, and cardiomyopathy.

Stress Echocardiogram & Treadmill Stress Test

A Stress Echocardiogram combines ultrasound imaging with exercise or medication-induced stress to assess how the heart functions under exertion. Similarly, a Treadmill Stress Test evaluates heart performance and blood flow during physical activity, identifying potential blockages or abnormal heart responses.

Treadmill & Lexiscan Cardiolite – Nuclear Stress Testing

Treadmill Cardiolite and Lexiscan Cardiolite use a radioactive tracer to capture images of blood flow to the heart before and after exertion. These tests help detect blocked arteries and reduced oxygen supply to the heart muscle.

MUGA Scan – Blood Pool Imaging for Heart Function

A MUGA (Multi-Gated Acquisition) Scan evaluates the heart’s pumping ability (ejection fraction) and is particularly useful for patients with heart failure or those undergoing chemotherapy that may affect heart function.

Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) – Non-Invasive Coronary Imaging

Coronary CTA (CCTA) is an advanced non-invasive imaging test that uses CT scans and contrast dye to create detailed 3D images of the coronary arteries, helping detect blockages, plaque buildup, and early signs of heart disease.
