Cardiology

Our Optum Cardiology providers believe that taking care of your heart is one of the most important things you can do to live a long and healthy life. That's why maintaining good heart health and reducing the risk of heart disease are the main objectives of our cardiology team. It's also why we place a strong emphasis on education and prevention. We believe that the more you know about the importance of good nutrition, regular exercise, managing stress, smoking cessation, and taking prescribed medications, the more likely we are to see a reduction in the number of people who are diagnosed and treated for heart and vascular disease.

Cardiology information

Commonly treated conditions:

Our procedures include:

Angina – Chest pain that occurs when diseased blood vessels restrict blood flow to the heart
Arrhythmia – Heart rhythm disturbances
Arteriosclerosis – A disease process commonly called “hardening of the arteries”
Atherosclerosis – A disease process that leads to the buildup of plaque inside blood vessels
Atrial Fibrillation – Rapid contractions of the individual heart muscle chamber
Bundle Branch Block – A condition in which parts of the heart conductive system are defective and unable to conduct the electrical signal normally causing an irregular heart rhythm
Bradycardia - Abnormally slow heartbeat
Cardiomyopathy – Disease of the heart muscle that leads to general deterioration of the muscle and its pumping ability
CHF - Congestive Heart Failure – A condition in which the heart cannot pump blood returning to it leading to a backup of blood in the vessels and an accumulation of fluid in the body’s tissues, including the lungs
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) – Narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart
Diastolic Dysfunction – Abnormality in the pumping phase within the heart
Heart Attack – Death of or damage to part of the heart muscle causing lack of oxygen-rich blood to the heart
High Blood Pressure - Hypertension- Tightening of small arteries regulating blood flow making the heart work harder to pump blood
Myocarditis – A rare condition where the heart muscle becomes inflamed
Pericarditis – Inflammation of the outer membrane surrounding the heart.
Valve Disease – Disruption of blood flow through the valves
