Heart Care in Davenport

With world-class cardiac specialists, innovative medicine and compassionate care, we're ready to stop coronary artery disease (CAD) in its tracks. We won't just treat your CAD symptoms; we'll provide tools and resources to prevent or reverse it. When your heart is strong, the future looks bright.

There are many treatment options for CAD, but treatment almost always involves making lifestyle changes like:

• Avoiding tobacco
• Controlling blood pressure
• Eating a low-fat, low-salt diet
• Limiting alcohol consumption
• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Reducing stress

If you have severe coronary artery blockage, you may need a procedure. Our world-class cardiologists have extensive experience in some of the most complex heart procedures available, including:

• Angioplasty and atherectomy
• Open and endovascular stenting
• Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

A heart attack happens when a blood clot blocks an artery in your heart. It’s always a medical emergency, and always requires immediate care. During a heart attack, 85% of heart damage happens within the first two hours. If you have some of these early symptoms, call 911 for immediate medical attention:

• Anxiety
• Back pain
• Chest pain (pressure, squeezing or discomfort)
• Fatigue
• Feeling of fullness
• Jaw pain
• Nausea
• Pain that travels down one or both arms
• Shortness of breath

We use the most advanced cardiac care to minimize the damage from a heart attack and return you to health. Diagnostic tools give our providers a clear picture of your heart and set you on the right path for treatment. Depending on your health and condition, your treatment may include:

• Cardiac rehabilitation to increase your strength and help you establish a heart-healthy lifestyle
• Implanted devices to maximize heart function
• Medication to address your condition and relieve symptoms
• Surgery to remove blockages and restore function

When it comes to heart disease, you can count on us for the most advanced care and treatments. Through minimally invasive surgery, medication or lifestyle changes, we’ll address your heart disease before it can lead to more serious issues like heart attack or stroke.

A congestive heart failure diagnosis may feel overwhelming, but our team is here to help you get back to what matters most. Together, we’ll find the treatment approach that addresses your unique health needs and goals. We’ll be by your side for every step of your cardiac care.

At our Davenport hospital, you have a range of options to support your heart health, including:

• Cardiac catheterization

• Implanted devices
• Medication
• Minimally invasive surgery

Your heartbeat is the rhythm of your life. But sometimes, your heart can beat too fast, too slow or irregularly.

Arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats) can cause serious health problems. Our heart rhythm specialists will evaluate your arrhythmia and recommend the best treatment. Our team will also treat any underlying condition causing your arrhythmia and monitor you to ensure your whole health.

This may include:

• Implanted devices like pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators (ICD)
• Medication to regulate your heart’s rhythm
• Procedures to help your heart maintain a normal rhythm

A stroke is an emergency that needs immediate care. Stroke symptoms appear suddenly and can include:

• Confusion
• Drooping on one side of the face
• Loss of balance or coordination
• Severe headache
• Slurred speech
• Trouble seeing in one or both eyes
• Weakness or numbness, especially on one side of the body

If you have one or more of these signs of stroke, call 911 right away. Your AdventHealth Heart of Florida stroke team will use the most advanced techniques available to give you the best possible stroke recovery.

When your vascular system — the network of blood vessels that transport blood and oxygen to and from your heart — is impeded, it can be like facing highway construction during your morning commute. An unwell web of arteries, veins and capillaries puts up roadblocks to your blood flow. Keeping this system clear and healthy is important for stroke and heart attack prevention.

We treat a variety of vascular diseases, including:

• Aneurysm
• Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
• Blood clots
• Buerger disease
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
• Pulmonary embolism

Whatever your vascular health, trust our compassionate experts to do everything in their power to keep your heart healthy now and in the future.

At the heart of your whole health is your body’s complex network of arteries and veins that comprise your vascular system.

At AdventHealth Heart of Florida, we’re dedicated to helping you regain health and confidence through personalized vein care treatments.

Our highly skilled team of vascular experts offers comprehensive vein care, from leading-edge treatments for vascular disease to minimally invasive procedures for spider or varicose veins to help you embrace confidence.

Women have unique heart health needs as cardiovascular disease often appears differently in women than in men. The signs and symptoms of heart attacks in women aren’t always the same as those in men. Research shows that understanding how to recognize and treat cardiac conditions in female patients results in better outcomes.

At AdventHealth Tampa, we take a whole-person approach with these unique factors in mind to treat women’s cardiac health while caring for the body, mind and spirit.
