Whether you've been referred for diagnostic testing, cardiac treatment or disease management, your best interests are at the heart of every medical recommendation we make and every care option we provide.
Experience Counts
Our experienced cardiologists perform two important roles: in addition to their clinical practice, they are also involved with clinical research and education. This expertise is enhanced by our close relationship with the Swedish Heart & Vascular Institute.
Clinical Trials
Our cardiologists actively participate in a large number of clinical trials – pharmacological as well as trials for new cardiovascular devices. In addition, they closely collaborate with cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, cardiologists and interventional radiologists from around the region in a wide range of research and educational efforts.
A key result of our extensive involvement with research and education is that we are able to offer our patients the region’s highest level of cardiac care. In turn, patient outcomes are significantly improved.
Clinical Services
Swedish Heart and Vascular provides clinical services in coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, neurovascular disease, arrhythmia, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy and congenital heart disease. Our patients have access to the latest interventional technologies, which include:
Carotid artery intervention, including stents
Carotid artery angiography and stenting
Percutaneous valve repair/replacement
Percutaneous abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Percutaneous patent foramen ovale/atrial septal defect repair
Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion in atrial fibrillation
Percutaneous treatment of coronary/peripheral chronic total occlusions
Cardiovascular risk factor management and prevention
Implantable pacemakers and defibrillators
Electrophysiology studies
Ablation of aberrant conduction pathways
The clinic’s diagnostic capabilities include treadmill testing, holter-event monitoring, echocardiography, nuclear-medicine studies and cardiac catheterization.
