A minimally invasive procedure that replaces a diseased aortic valve using a catheter, avoiding the need for open-heart surgery.

Implantation of a small device that closes off the left atrial appendage to reduce stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation.

A specialized test that maps the heart's electrical activity to diagnose the source of an arrhythmia and guide treatment planning.

A minimally invasive procedure that uses targeted heat energy to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing an abnormal heart rhythm.

A minimally invasive procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy small areas of heart tissue responsible for an abnormal heart rhythm.

Implantation of a small device that sends electrical impulses to help the heart maintain a normal rhythm and treat slow or irregular heartbeats.

Implantation of a device that monitors heart rhythm and delivers a corrective shock if a dangerous arrhythmia is detected.

Implantation of a specialized pacemaker that coordinates the timing of the heart's chambers to improve pumping efficiency in heart failure patients.

A minor procedure implanting a small device under the skin to continuously monitor heart rhythm over an extended period, useful for diagnosing intermittent arrhythmias.

Diagnosis and ongoing treatment of irregular heart rhythms using monitoring, medication, or procedural and device-based therapies.

Comprehensive evaluation and ongoing treatment planning for patients living with congestive heart failure or cardiomyopathy.

Diagnostic evaluation of the heart muscle to identify and manage conditions that weaken or stiffen the heart's pumping ability.

Comprehensive evaluation of the heart's valves to diagnose narrowing, leakage, or other structural valve conditions and guide treatment.

A minimally invasive procedure that closes an abnormal opening between the heart's upper chambers using a catheter-delivered device.

A minimally invasive procedure that closes a small opening between the heart's upper chambers present since birth, often to reduce stroke risk.

A procedure that closes off a small pouch in the heart to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Specialized diagnostic evaluation to detect abnormal protein buildup in the heart muscle and guide appropriate treatment.
