World-Class Heart and Vascular Care
- Screenings and Education for a Clearer Diagnosis
-
Your heart is at the core of your healthy, happy lifestyle. Keeping that core strong, then, is one of the most important aspects of healthy living. When something doesn't feel right with your heart, come in for a screening, so we can give you a clear diagnosis and, if necessary, start you on a proper course of treatment for heart valve disease. We use the latest technologies and tests to diagnose all types of heart valve disease, including:
- Chest X-Ray
- Echocardiogram
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Physical Examination
- Stress Test
Diagnosis is the first step in your journey toward greater heart health. If our screenings and tests do uncover heart valve disease, your team of cardiologists and other specialists will be by your side, helping you manage, treat, and take care of your heart. So it can continue to take care of you.
- Understanding Heart Valve Disease
-
Your heart has four valves that facilitate blood flow through and out of your heart. When they're not opening and closing properly, you can experience heart valve disease symptoms including:
- Chest Pain
- Fatigue or Weakness
- Lightheadedness
- Rapid or Irregular Heartbeat
- Reduced Ability to Exercise
- Shortness of Breath
- Swollen Ankles, Feet, or Abdomen
You might not have any symptoms from heart valve disease, or you could have sudden, very noticeable symptoms. Either way, AdventHealth is here to help you get well with regular checkups, screenings, education, and world-class care.
- Leaders in Heart Valve Disease Treatment

When you hear the words “heart valve disease,” it might make you feel uncertain about what comes next. But your condition doesn’t have to hold you back from living the life you love. In our network of care, you’ll have a world-class cardiology team and innovative technologies on your side, helping you to monitor, manage, and treat your condition at every turn.
In some cases, you can successfully manage heart valve disease with medication and monitoring alone. Our cardiologists and staff will work closely with you to help control your symptoms. This sometimes means using medications tailored to your specific care plan that could include:
- ACE Inhibitors
- Antiarrhythmic Medications
- Beta-Blockers
- Blood Thinners
- Diuretics
If additional treatment for heart valve disease is needed, the pioneering hospitals, centers, and teams in the AdventHealth network work hard to deliver the latest minimally invasive cardiac surgery procedures, all while maintaining a dedicated focus on your whole-person wellness. These surgeries can include:
- Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
- Heart Valve Repair
- Heart Valve Replacement
