Interventional Cardiology

Adventist Health White Memorial's Catheterization labs offer non-surgical methods to treat heart conditions. Four state of the art procedure rooms offer diagnostic and interventional services that include:

Coronary Artery Disease Diagnosis

• Diagnosis of coronary artery disease with angioplasty, is with the insertion of a small tube into the heart through the arteries in the arm or groin
• Intravascular ultrasound, is a diagnostic imaging procedure that takes place within the arteries of the heart

Coronary Artery Disease Treatment

• Angioplasty is the dilatation of the artery using a balloon catheter
• Stent implantation (bare metal and drug eluding)

Heart Arrhythmia Diagnosis and Treatment

• Electrophysiology studies is the placement of electrodes within the heart to study its electrical function
• Cardioversion is the stimulation of the heart to beat normally using electrical current
• Radiofrequency ablation is destruction of areas of the heart that are causing arrhythmias
• Pacemaker implantation is the insertion of a device to regulate the heartbeat
• Automatic Implantation Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD)

Peripheral Artery Disease

• Diagnosis and percutaneous treatment of peripheral arteries
