Heart Treatment & Procedures in Los Angeles

Interventional cardiology

Adventist Health White Memorial's catheterization labs offer nonsurgical methods to treat heart conditions. Our four state-of-the-art procedure rooms offer diagnostic and interventional services.

We can diagnose and treat:

• Coronary artery disease
  • Diagnosis of coronary artery disease with angioplasty — the insertion of a small tube into the heart through the arteries in the arm or groin
  • Intravascular ultrasound, a diagnostic imaging procedure that takes place within the arteries of the heart
• Coronary artery disease
  • Angioplasty, the dilatation of the artery using a balloon catheter
  • Stent implantation (bare metal and drug eluding)
• Heart arrhythmia
  • Electrophysiology studies — the placement of electrodes within the heart to study its electrical function
  • Cardioversion — the stimulation of the heart to beat normally using electrical current
  • Radiofrequency ablation — destruction of areas of the heart that are causing arrhythmias
  • Pacemaker implantation — the insertion of a device to regulate the heartbeat
  • Automatic implantation cardioverter defibrillator (AICD)
• Peripheral artery disease
  • Diagnosis and percutaneous treatment of peripheral arteries
