Heart Care in Zephyrhills

Our cardiac rehabilitation program includes extensive education, monitored exercise and fitness maintenance designed to help you maximize strength and regain independence.

This is a procedure that uses sound waves to examine the blood flow through the heart and arteries in the neck, arms or legs.

Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical treatment for carotid artery disease. In this procedure, our surgeons remove plaque from the carotid artery to restore healthy blood flow to the brain and lower the risk of a stroke.

Our innovative cerebrovascular disease treatments will help you get back to doing what you love. When needed, we also perform minimally invasive brain surgeries that have dramatically lower risks of side effects than traditional open surgeries.

Coronary, or balloon, angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure to increase blood flow through narrowed or hardened arteries. Using a small catheter with a tiny balloon at the end, our vascular surgeons can clear a path in the arteries to restore blood flow.

A thin, hollow tube called a catheter is inserted into the heart to determine how well the heart is functioning.

An ECG, also called an EKG, is a quick, painless test using sensors attached to your chest to measure your heart's electrical activity. It can show how fast or slow the heart is beating and detect irregular heartbeats, known as arrhythmias.

Our electrophysiologists use physical evaluations and catheter-based procedures to pinpoint the location and cause of your heart rhythm disorder, uncovering vital information to determine how to treat your irregular heartbeat.

Endarterectomy is a stroke-prevention procedure to remove plaque buildup inside the carotid artery. Our vascular surgeons may perform this procedure for significant blockages from carotid artery disease or for patients who've had a mini-stroke.

During EVAR, our surgeons can make small incisions at your groin to insert a small, flexible tube or stent graft. The stent graft is then guided to the aneurysm with X-ray and imaging. The stent is carefully placed into the aneurysm to restore blood flow.

This minimally invasive procedure is used to address peripheral artery disease, abdominal aortic aneurysms and other blood vessel problems. A surgeon threads a catheter through an artery or vein in the groin area to make a surgical repair.

Endovenous laser ablation is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure often used to treat large varicose veins in the legs. Our surgeons insert a tiny laser fiber into the vein via a catheter, and the laser helps collapse and shrink the varicose vein.

To feel whole, it’s important to keep your heart healthy and strong. Because heart disease can be silent for many people, take charge of your health today and learn more about your risk.

Interventional cardiology is a branch of heart care that uses catheter-based procedures to treat heart disease.

This heart-monitoring device implanted in the chest continuously records the heart's rhythm for up to three years.

Nuclear cardiac testing involves non-invasive techniques to assess myocardial blood flow, evaluate the heart's pumping function and visualize the location of a heart attack.

A pacemaker is an implanted medical device that stimulates the heart muscle and regulates its contractions. It is inserted into the heart surgically.

Peripheral arterial disease involves plaque buildup in the arteries affecting a part of the body, commonly the legs. Venous studies allow diagnosis via physical exam and non-invasive testing like ultrasound or blood pressure measurements.

Many people respond well to medicine, lifestyle changes and rehabilitation. If surgery is necessary to address high blood pressure in the lungs, our world-class surgeons are dedicated to treating people with severe hypertension.

We take a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates time-tested techniques and whole-person care. We’ll provide the exercise therapy, education and support to help you reach your goals.

A varicose vein treatment, sclerotherapy involves injecting the problematic veins with a medication that causes them to close. Sclerotherapy can also be performed after endovenous laser ablation to clear up any surrounding spider veins.

Stenting is a procedure that uses a small, expandable tube called a stent to open a clogged artery. It's often used to treat conditions caused by a blocked or narrowed artery, including coronary heart disease and peripheral artery disease.

In a standard stress test, a technician will attach electrical conductors to your body, which are then connected to a nearby monitor. The electrodes record your heart activity while you exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike.

If you often feel faint, a tilt-table test can help us better understand the cause. Our team will monitor your heart rate, blood pressure and response to a specific medication as you lie on a table and are slowly tilted upward.

A TEE is a detailed ultrasound test administered through the mouth and throat to see better live pictures of the heart and its blood vessels.
