Coronary Artery Disease

Your heart receives its own supply of blood and oxygen through the coronary arteries. Coronary artery disease – also called ischemic heart disease or atherosclerotic heart disease – refers to a narrowing of the coronary arteries.

Arrhythmias

Electrical signals are responsible for synchronizing your heart to contract in rhythm and pump blood. The heart may beat too fast, too slow, or the heart’s upper chambers (the atria) may beat out of sync with the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles) when the electrical signals of the heart become disorganized.

Chronic Venous Disease

Your veins are the vessels that carry deoxygenated blood from your organs and extremities back to your heart. Chronic venous disease – also called chronic venous insufficiency – is the condition that results from long-term vein problems and are most common in the legs.

Heart Failure

Living with cardiovascular conditions such as coronary artery disease or high blood pressure can leave the heart muscle weakened and unable to pump blood as well as it should. This condition is known as heart failure, and can result when the heart has trouble filling with blood (diastolic heart failure) or when the heart has trouble pumping out blood (systolic heart failure).

Peripheral Artery Disease

Your arteries are the vessels that carry oxygenated blood from your heart to your organs and extremities. Like your coronary arteries, your peripheral arteries narrow when plaque builds up, decreasing blood flow to the affected region in your body. This is most common in the legs, especially in individuals with a long history of smoking or uncontrolled diabetes.

Valvular Heart Disease

Your heart has four valves. In a healthy heart, these valves open and close at precise times throughout the cardiac cycle, allowing blood to flow through the different chambers of the heart, and preventing blood from flowing backwards. Heart valve disease refers to conditions in which one or more of your heart valves does not open or close as effectively as it should.

Other Conditions

Seeking cardiovascular care for a different reason? We routinely see patients for several other conditions as well, including:

Structural heart disease
Renal artery disease
Carotid artery disease
Pulmonary embolism
