Cardiology Programs

The team of experienced cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons at the UI Health Heart Center provides complete heart care, from diagnosis to intervention, and our division is supported by a multidisciplinary team of specialists, including neurologists, imaging experts, and vascular surgeons.

Our Cardiology Programs

We use cutting-edge technologies and treatments to deliver exceptional care for a variety of heart disorders and diseases. Our expertise includes:

• Cardiac Electrophysiology: Cardiac electrophysiologists diagnose and treat abnormally fast heart rhythms, called cardiac arrhythmias.
• Cardiac Rehabilitation Program: The goal of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is to help you recover from the cardiovascular event and prevent future heart problems.
• Cardiovascular Genetics Program: The Cardiovascular Genetics Program provides advanced care for patients and families who are suspected of having an inherited heart disease.
• Cardiovascular Program for Women: The Cardiovascular Program for Women works to identify and treat early predictors of heart disease among women, including specialized care for pregnant women with heart disease.
• Diagnostic Procedures & Treatments: We use a variety of diagnostic procedures to evaluate heart performance and function, and to detect any problematic conditions or diseases of the heart.
• Heart Failure Program: Our program offers complete heart failure care, from early prevention strategies to end-stage treatment options.
• Interventional Cardiology Program: The Interventional Cardiology Program provides leading-edge diagnostic tests and nonsurgical interventional treatments for patients with cardiovascular diseases, including congenital heart disease, coronary heart disease, heart valve disease, and peripheral artery disease
• Onco-Cardiology Program: The Onco-Cardiology Program provides comprehensive cardiac care to cancer patients.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Also called peripheral vascular disease, PAD is a common circulatory disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries, and the narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the head, organs, and limbs.
• Preventative Cardiology Program: Our team of cardiologists, internists, dietitians, and nutritionists focus on the prevention, management, and treatment of risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
• Structural Heart Disease Program: Our team of interventional cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons provides minimally invasive interventions to treat heart valve disease - eliminating the need for open heart-surgery.
