Complete cardiovascular services

At Edward-Elmhurst Health, you’ll find services from prevention to complex clinical care, including the latest testing and diagnostic techniques.

We’re recognized for our highly successful outcomes in treating patients with a variety of conditions, including:

• Coronary artery disease (blocked arteries)
• Heart valve disease 
• Rhythm disorders (arrhythmia and AFib)
• Heart failure 
• Peripheral vascular disease 

Innovative heart and vascular care

Your care will be tailored to your unique needs, based on your condition and what’s best for your overall health. Treatments range from minimally-invasive procedures that don’t require an operation to cardiac surgery performed by highly skilled surgeons.

Whenever possible, we choose minimally invasive procedures that use small incisions and lead to a faster recovery. For example, our interventional cardiologists can make a very small opening in the skin and insert thin, flexible catheters to repair blood vessels and structures of the heart.

We work at the forefront of advances in heart care and offer a number of innovations, including:

• CardioMEMS™ for patients with heart failure
• Opening of chronic total occlusions to treat coronary artery disease
• TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) to treat heart valve disease
• Watchman™ to help reduce the risk of stroke due to AFib
• Topera Mapping to pinpoint the locations of electrical activity that disrupts the normal rhythm of the heart

Our care doesn’t stop once you’ve had your procedure. At Edward-Elmhurst, you have access to education, support and specialized clinics to keep you on the road to wellness. You can also take advantage of support groups and cardiac rehabilitation customized to your needs.
