Arrhythmia Management

Arrhythmia management

A heart arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) is a problem with the timing of the electrical signals that control your heartbeat. Englewood Health provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for every type of arrhythmia, including atrial fibrillation (AFib).

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease

Coronary artery disease develops when cholesterol and plaque build up inside your heart’s major arteries. Englewood Health offers the most advanced treatment for coronary artery disease, including for the most complex conditions.

Structural Heart Disease

Structural heart disease

We diagnose and treat heart valve disease including aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, and mitral valve disease. We use minimally invasive methods such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and percutaneous mitral valve repair (MitraClip®).

Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors

Heart and vascular diseases have several risk factors — some that you can’t control, others that you can.

Ones you can’t control include:

  • Gender (males are at greater risk)
  • Age (the older you get, the higher your risk)
  • A family history of heart disease
  • Being post-menopausal

However, you can make changes in your lifestyle to reduce your risk. These controllable risk factors include:

  • Smoking
  • High LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, and low HDL, or “good” cholesterol
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Physical inactivity
  • Obesity
  • Uncontrolled diabetes
  • Uncontrolled stress and anger

Cardiovascular Disease Symptoms

Your symptoms will differ depending on what type of heart disease you have, and women often have different signs. In general, you should seek emergency care right away if you experience a combination of any of these symptoms:

  • Chest pain, discomfort, tightness, or pressure
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fainting, lightheadedness, dizziness, or extreme fatigue
  • Pain in your neck, jaw, throat, upper abdomen, or back
  • Pain, numbness, weakness, coldness, or swelling in your legs, ankles, feet, arms, or hands
  • Changes in your heart rhythm, such as irregular, pounding, or fluttering heartbeat
  • Nausea
