Cardiology Procedures

A heart procedure can restore a steady rhythm, open a blocked artery, or help an implanted heart device work properly.

At Stormont Vail Health, specialists perform cardiac ablation, catheterization, cardioversion, angioplasty, and other procedures to help your heart work better.

Why Stormont Vail Health

Your care may involve a cardiologist, interventional cardiologist, or a heart rhythm specialist. The team will recommend a procedure based on your condition, symptoms, and test results.

For some patients with AFib, Stormont Vail offers pulsed field ablation. This treatment targets the electrical signals that cause an irregular heartbeat.

Cardiology Procedures and Services

Heart Rhythm Procedures

These treatments help correct a heartbeat that is too fast, too slow, or irregular.

  • Cardiac ablation blocks abnormal electrical signals in the heart.
  • Cardioversion uses a controlled electrical shock to restore a regular rhythm.
  • Heart monitors record your heart rhythm over time.

Pacemakers and Heart Devices

Implanted devices can monitor your heart and help it maintain a steady rhythm.

  • Pacemakers help regulate a heartbeat that is too slow.
  • Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) detect and respond to dangerous rhythms.

Procedures for Blocked Arteries

These procedures help your cardiologist find and treat narrowed or blocked arteries.

  • Cardiac catheterization uses a thin tube to examine the heart and blood vessels.
  • Angioplasty opens a narrowed or blocked artery.
  • Stents help keep the treated artery open after angioplasty.

WATCHMAN Implant

For certain people with AFib, a WATCHMAN implant may offer an alternative to long-term blood-thinning medication.
