St. Joseph Health’s cardiologists, researchers, and auxiliary staff are passionate about continuously improving the diagnosis and treatment of all types of heart disease.
We are recognized for making ground-breaking progress in treating many heart conditions and providing exceptional care, but all this recognition would be meaningless without the results we achieve for our patients. That is where our passion lies.
Our goal is always to provide the least invasive option to treat heart conditions. This approach delivers excellent results for each patient with the shortest possible recovery time.
Advanced care for complex heart conditions
As a leading heart care center, our nationally recognized cardiologists and heart surgeons have access to the most advanced resources available to diagnose and treat heart conditions, including:
- Aortic stenosis - this occurs when the heart's aortic valve narrows, preventing the valve from opening fully and obstructing blood flow
- Arrhythmia - an irregular heartbeat
- Atrial fibrillation - an irregular heart rhythm
- Cardiomyopathy - enlarged, thick, or rigid heart muscle
- Carotid artery disease - this occurs when plaque builds up in the carotid artery in the neck, causing it to narrow
- Congenital heart disease in adults - a defect in one or more structures of the heart or blood vessels that predates birth
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) - the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries
- Heart disease - a defect in one or more structures of the heart or blood vessels
- Heart failure - the reduced ability of the heart to pump blood
- Hypertension - high blood pressure
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD) - a blockage that affects blood vessels outside of the heart
- Valvular heart disease - this condition is characterized by damage to or a defect in one of the four heart valves of the heart
- Vascular disease - this includes diseases of the arteries, veins, and lymph vessels, or blood disorders that decrease circulation
