Heart and Vascular Care
About heart and vascular care at Main Line Health
At Main Line Health, our cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, advanced practice providers and staff are committed to providing a full range of services, which are critical in addressing the diverse needs of our patients and the community. And we do it the only way we know how — human to human.
Our specialists are at the forefront of advancing cardiovascular medicine, with a focus on improved detection, prevention and personalized care. Our providers collaborate with patients and their families by actively listening to their concerns, providing clear explanations of their condition and discussing treatment options available that are tailored to their specific needs.
These care plans may encompass cardiac prevention strategies, medical therapy, interventions and minimally invasive treatment options which offer patients the benefits of reduced recovery times, smaller incisions and potentially lower risks.
Our goal is to keep your heart healthy.
Arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm)
It's important to address and manage arrhythmias, as they can have a significant impact on cardiovascular health. Arrhythmias can manifest in different forms, including a heartbeat that is too fast, too slow or irregular. Our team of expert cardiac electrophysiologists specialize in the electrical activity of the heart and are well-equipped to diagnose and treat various arrhythmias.
Cardio-oncology
The use of radiation and chemotherapy may have adverse effects on a patient’s current heart function and future heart-disease risk. Our team of cardiologists and oncologists work together to treat patients at any stage of cancer therapy and provide personalized preventive and treatment plans.
Complex aortic disease
Managing aortic disease requires a comprehensive and collaborative approach. The aorta is a vital blood vessel, and diseases affecting it can have serious implications for cardiovascular health. Combining state-of-the-art diagnostic technology with a range of medical and minimally invasive approaches are beneficial to treating aortic conditions, including aneurysms and dissections.
Coronary artery disease
It takes a comprehensive approach to managing and treating narrowed or blocked arteries that supply blood to the heart. This includes preventive measures, medication therapy and advanced interventional and surgical techniques. Our team’s expertise in minimally invasive and robotic techniques often provide patients with several benefits, including quicker recovery times and improvements in overall quality of life.
Genetic disorders
Genetic evaluation is an important part of personalized care, as many cardiac disorders can be inherited. We provide genetic evaluation to individuals and families at increased risk for cardiovascular disease due to family or personal history.
Heart failure
Managing heart failure at any stage takes a dedicated team. One who can provide a comprehensive assessment and cohesive treatment plans to manage your heart failure.
Valvular heart disease
Diagnosing and treating heart valve disease takes a dedicated team of cardiac surgeons, interventional cardiologists, cardiac imaging specialists and advanced care nurses. Through new innovations and clinical trials, we offer less invasive approaches like transcatheter-based therapies to repair or replace the mitral, aortic or tricuspid valves.
Vascular disease
Maintaining vascular health is crucial for preventing cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks, strokes and peripheral artery disease. Our team of vascular specialists offer expertise in treating varicose veins to abdominal aortic aneurysm, and limb-threatening conditions like claudication and peripheral artery disease.
Women's heart disease
A collaboration of cardiologists, heart surgeons, obstetricians, primary care physicians and population-health experts working to educate women about the unique risk factors and to help reduce their chances of heart disease through a preventive approach, including state-of-the-art screening and testing.
