Specialized Cardiovascular Treatment Options
When it comes to matters of your heart, every second counts. That’s why our experts are taking steps every single day to give you the best, fastest and most accurate cardiac treatments, from partnering with first responders at our accredited chest pain centers to building some of the most advanced heart failure, stroke and vascular disease programs.
You’ll have access to ongoing heart care programs, including cardiac rehab services, support groups, nutrition and lifestyle counseling, and more throughout your heart disease treatment.
Our team personalizes your care plan using state-of-the-art treatments and techniques, including:
Ablation
A procedure that can correct heart rhythm problems, also known as arrhythmias, by removing the tissue causing the abnormal rhythm.
Cardioversion
A way to restore the heart's rhythm by using medicine or electrical therapy.
Pacemaker
A small electronic device implanted in the chest to regulate heart rhythm by delivering electrical impulses to the heart muscle.
Portico Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valve
A valve replacement procedure that reduces the need for a permanent pacemaker and decreases the risk of complications like a paravalvular leak.
Stents
Tiny mesh-like tubes inserted into narrowed or blocked blood vessels to restore blood flow and support the vessel walls.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
A minimally invasive procedure that repairs the damaged valve without removing it. Our network was chosen as one of the first sites to offer the FDA-approved Edwards SAPIEN transcatheter aortic valve replacement treatment option for patients with high-risk or inoperable, severe, symptomatic aortic valve stenosis.
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement
A new way of replacing the mitral valve without needing open-heart surgery.
Heart Transplant
Involves surgically replacing a diseased or failing heart with a healthy heart from a deceased donor to improve heart function and prolong life.
When it comes to your heart care, you expect the very best. At AdventHealth, we'll give you nothing less.

Computed Tomography (CT) Scans
Our CT scans generate detailed cross-sectional images of the heart and surrounding structures, aiding in assessing cardiovascular conditions like coronary artery disease, cardiac anomalies and structural abnormalities.
Electrocardiogram
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a noninvasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time. It typically displays this activity as a graph to assess heart rhythm, detect abnormalities and diagnose various cardiac conditions.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) employs powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the heart and its surrounding structures. This aids in the diagnosis and evaluation of heart conditions such as myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy and congenital heart defects.
Nuclear Medicine
In a heart scan, nuclear medicine is used to identify abnormal blood flow to the heart, determine the extent of damage after a heart attack and measure heart function.
Stress Tests
By monitoring your heart rate during an increasingly strenuous exercise session, our team can better diagnose symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of breath and heart palpitations.
X-Rays
Using electromagnetic radiation, X-rays produce images of the heart and lungs, helping to diagnose conditions like congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema and certain abnormalities by revealing structural abnormalities and changes in heart size.

Q:Question:What is vascular care?
A:Answer:
Vascular care focuses on keeping your circulatory system healthy, ensuring that blood flows smoothly to nourish your body and support your overall well-being. With modern medicine and personalized care from our experts, many vascular conditions can be effectively managed or even prevented.
Q:Question:How can I take care of my vascular health?
A:Answer:
Taking care of your vascular health involves practicing a heart-healthy lifestyle. Focus on eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and stay active with regular exercise to improve your circulation.
Avoid smoking, maintain a healthy weight and ask your health care provider how to best manage chronic conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. It also helps to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged sitting or standing and consider wearing compression stockings if needed.
Regular checkups can help catch issues early, and being mindful of symptoms like leg pain or swelling ensures timely care. Small daily habits can make a big difference in keeping your vascular system strong.
For general prevention: If you’re healthy with no significant risk factors, you likely don’t need regular visits to a cardiologist. Annual checkups with your primary care provider are usually sufficient to monitor your heart health.
If you have risk factors: Conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or a family history of cardiovascular disease may require periodic visits for diagnostic testing, typically every one to two years or as recommended by your doctor.
For existing heart conditions: If you’ve been diagnosed with a heart condition, such as arrhythmia, heart failure or coronary artery disease, regular cardiologist appointments (every three to 12 months) are essential for ongoing care and monitoring.
After a heart procedure or event: Following events like a heart attack or surgery, you may need more advanced care and frequent follow-ups (every few weeks or months) until your condition stabilizes.
Your provider will create a schedule tailored to your needs, ensuring you can stay on top of your heart health effectively and feel whole.
