Coronary Atherectomy

Atherectomy is a procedure that relieves symptoms of coronary artery disease by improving blood flow to your heart.

Coronary Angioplasty

Angioplasty relieves symptoms of coronary artery disease by improving blood flow to your heart. Read on to learn what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.

Electrophysiology Study (EPS)

An EPS closely monitors your heart rhythm. EPS can help find out exactly what your rhythm problem is and what can be done to control it. A specially trained doctor (electrophysiologist) does the procedure in an EPS lab.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

The ECG is a test that records electrical signals from your heart. The pattern of these signals can tell the healthcare provider if your heart is normal, under stress, or having electrical problems, strain, or damage.

Coronary Angiography

Angiography is a special type of x-ray that allows your coronary arteries to be viewed and recorded on film. Your doctor can see if the blood vessels to your heart are clogged.

Ventricular Arrhythmia

Sometimes problems with the heart's electrical signals lead to a fast heart rhythm. Too many signals may make the heart beat very fast (tachycardia). Or signals may be sent so rapidly and irregularly that the heart muscle sometimes quivers and doesn't beat at all (fibrillation).

Symptoms of a Heart Attack

A heart attack is an urgent message from your heart that it's starved for oxygen. Here are the warning signs to look for--and what you need to do if they occur.

What Is Angina?

Angina is often described as chest pain, but this can be misleading. Angina isn't always painful, and it isn’t always felt in the chest. Learn more about what this heart condition feels like, and when it can happen.
