Interventional Cardiology
Adventist Health White Memorial's Catheterization labs offer non-surgical methods to treat heart conditions. Four state of the art procedure rooms offer diagnostic and interventional services that include:
Coronary Artery Disease Diagnosis
- Diagnosis of coronary artery disease with angioplasty, is with the insertion of a small tube into the heart through the arteries in the arm or groin
- Intravascular ultrasound, is a diagnostic imaging procedure that takes place within the arteries of the heart
Coronary Artery Disease Treatment
- Angioplasty is the dilatation of the artery using a balloon catheter
- Stent implantation (bare metal and drug eluding)
Heart Arrhythmia Diagnosis and Treatment
- Electrophysiology studies is the placement of electrodes within the heart to study its electrical function
- Cardioversion is the stimulation of the heart to beat normally using electrical current
- Radiofrequency ablation is destruction of areas of the heart that are causing arrhythmias
- Pacemaker implantation is the insertion of a device to regulate the heartbeat
- Automatic Implantation Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD)
Peripheral Artery Disease
- Diagnosis and percutaneous treatment of peripheral arteries
