Watchman procedure is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) who are at risk of stroke and are unable to take long-term oral anticoagulant medication.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common circulatory condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, usually the legs.

Minimally invasive procedure used to treat certain types of abnormal heart rhythms, known as cardiac arrhythmias.

Defibrillator insertion, also known as implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation, is a surgical procedure performed to implant a small electronic device called an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.

Pacemaker insertion, also known as pacemaker implantation or pacemaker placement, is a surgical procedure performed to implant a small electronic device called a pacemaker into the chest or abdomen of a patient.

A specialized procedure used to diagnose and treat heart rhythm disorders, also known as arrhythmias.

Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a genetic condition characterized by abnormal thickening of the heart muscle (myocardium), particularly the ventricular septum—the wall that separates the two lower chambers of the heart (ventricles).

Myocardial biopsy is a medical procedure used to obtain a small sample of heart muscle tissue (myocardium) for diagnostic purposes.

Carotid artery stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat carotid artery stenosis, which is the narrowing of the carotid arteries, the major blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain.

Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat mitral valve regurgitation, a condition where the mitral valve does not close properly, causing blood to leak backward into the left atrium of the heart.

Septal closure, also known as atrial septal defect (ASD) closure, is a procedure used to treat a hole in the wall (septum) between the upper chambers of the heart, known as the atria.

Percutaneous valve repair refers to minimally invasive procedures used to treat heart valve disorders without the need for open-heart surgery.

Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a procedure used to reduce the risk of stroke in individuals with atrial fibrillation (AFib) who are at high risk of blood clot formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA).

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also known as coronary angioplasty or balloon angioplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, which are the blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.

Coronary physiology testing refers to a group of diagnostic tests that assess the functional significance of coronary artery disease (CAD) by evaluating blood flow and pressure within the coronary arteries.

Coronary imaging refers to various techniques used to visualize the coronary arteries, which are the blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a term used to describe a group of conditions that are associated with sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart.

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a diagnostic technique used to assess the severity of narrowings or blockages in the coronary arteries.

Coronary atherectomy is a medical procedure used to treat coronary artery disease by removing plaque buildup from the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle.

Stenting is a medical procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked blood vessels, typically arteries, to restore normal blood flow.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), also known as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat aortic valve stenosis, a condition where the aortic valve becomes narrowed, obstructing blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body.

Cardiac catheterization is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat certain heart conditions.

Balloon valvuloplasty, also known as balloon valvotomy, is a medical procedure used to treat certain types of heart valve diseases, particularly stenosis, where the valve becomes narrowed and obstructs blood flow through the heart.

Cardioversion is a medical procedure used to restore a normal heart rhythm in individuals who have certain types of abnormal heart rhythms, particularly atrial fibrillation (AFib) or atrial flutter.

A cardiology consultation is a meeting between a patient and a specialist in heart health, also known as a cardiologist.

Cardiology pre-operative clearance is a process that is conducted prior to any surgical procedure to ensure the safety and health of the patient.

Cardiovascular oncology is a subspecialty within cardiology and oncology that deals with the management of cardiovascular complications in patients with cancer.

A subcutaneous cardiac rhythm monitor is a type of medical device used to monitor a patient’s heart rhythm.

Cardiovascular implantable device interrogation refers to the process of obtaining information from a cardiovascular medical device that has been implanted in a patient’s body.

A blood pressure clinic is a medical facility or service that focuses on measuring and monitoring a person’s blood pressure levels.

A cardiology telemetry test is a diagnostic test used to monitor the electrical activity of the heart.

Varicose vein therapy is a medical treatment used to alleviate symptoms and improve the appearance of varicose veins, which are swollen and enlarged veins that can be seen just under the surface of the skin.

A vascular ultrasound is a medical imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the blood vessels and the blood flow within them.

A cardiology stat consultation is a medical consultation requested immediately or on an urgent basis for patients with suspected or known cardiovascular conditions.

An EKG (electrocardiogram) is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It is used to detect problems with the heart’s rhythm and structure.

A nuclear exercise test, also known as a nuclear stress test, is a diagnostic test used to evaluate blood flow to the heart muscle.

Angioplasty is a medical procedure used to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins, typically to treat conditions such as coronary artery disease or peripheral artery disease.
