从 evaluation to life-saving procedures, 当病人最需要我们的时候, we’re right here with state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization labs. Some types of heart disease improve with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)  procedures to open blocked vessels in the heart 和 restore blood flow. PCI is now considered the gold st和ard of care for an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). 程序可以包括以下内容, including transradial访问 (procedures done through an artery in the wrist for quicker recovery 和 patient comfort):

• 心导管检查，包括(transradial访问)
• 冠状动脉成形术和支架
• 血管内超声
• Instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) measurement
• 主动脉内球囊泵
• 血栓愿望

The cardiac 电生理学 (EP) service at Valley provides care for people with electrical issues of the heart, 比如心律不齐, 也被称为 心律失常. While it’s not unusual to feel like your heart flutters, 比赛, 或者跳过一个节拍, some heart 心律失常s don’t cause problems while others require treatment. At Valley we are proud to announce the addition of 电生理学, allowing us to both diagnose 和 treat electrical issues of the heart in our state-of-the-art EP lab. Experienced physicians 和 staff use the latest techniques to diagnose 和 treat heart 心律失常s, 如 心房纤颤即心房纤颤. We use advanced 3-D mapping 和 imaging technologies, helping get heartbeats back in sync through 心脏消融术，植入式装置，如 心脏起搏器 or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (icd)和其他治疗方法. 

The Cardiac Arrhythmia Service provides comprehensive care for patients with all types of cardiac 心律失常s. Our experienced specialists work with patients to determine the cause of their heart rhythm problems 和 develop a plan of care designed to control symptoms, improve quality of life 和 long-term prognosis. Valley offers a unique combination of experienced providers 和 a state-of-the-art 电生理学 lab with the convenience of a community hospital.  

治疗的情况包括: 

• 心房纤颤
• 心房扑动
• 室上性心动过速
• 室性心动过速
• Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs)
• 心跳缓慢(心动过缓)
• 遗传性心律问题(如.g. 长QT综合征)

常见程序:

• Catheter ablation of 心房纤颤
• Catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia including Wolff Parkinson White syndrome
• 心房扑动的导管消融
• Catheter ablation of PVCs 和 ventricular tachycardia
• 心脏起搏器植入
• 无铅起搏器植入
• Biventricular pacing for 心脏衰竭
• Defibrillator implantation including subcutaneous ICDs

Valley has a longst和ing history of offering non-invasive cardiology services to test 和 diagnose heart conditions. 从 跑步机压力测试 和 霍尔特监视器 to 心电图仪等, 血管超声 和 超声心动图 exams, we have the capability 和 expertise to evaluate  a wide range of potential heart conditions.

When recovering from a cardiac event or heart-related procedure, 病人需要额外的照顾和支持. 在十大正规网赌软件的 心脏康复计划, specialized nurses monitor patient progress 和 vitals.
