Clinical Cardiology

The primary entry point for most Centennial Heart Center patients is through our extensive clinical cardiology program. Our cardiologists see patients with both common heart problems and rare and complex heart conditions and listen carefully as they devise the very best evaluation and treatment plans for each patient’s situation. We provide state-of-the-art tests and procedures, which allow us to assess conditions and present treatment options with greater accuracy and confidence. Our cardiologists and surgeons work closely to ensure seamless care and better outcomes.

Cardiovascular Imaging

Centennial Heart Center and our affiliates use advanced, invasive and noninvasive diagnostic tools for accurately assessing heart conditions. These procedures—available to both inpatients and outpatients—include:

• Cardiac Dual Source CT
• Cardiac CT
• Cardiac Calcium Scoring
• Cardiac MRI
• Angiography
• Cardiac Catheterization (Angiogram )
• Doppler Ultrasound
• Echocardiography
• Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG)
• Electrophysiology Studies(EP)
• Fractional Flow Analysis
• Gated Blood Pool Scan (MUGA)
• Holter Monitoring
• Intravascular Ultrasound
• Nuclear Studies
• Stress Electrocardiography
• Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)
• Tilt Tables
• X-Ray

Heart Rhythm Disorders (Electrophysiology and Pacing)

Centennial Heart Center offers a variety of highly specialized treatment approaches for patients having difficulty with the heart’s rhythm and electrical signaling. Heart rhythm disorders can be treated with medications or with a wide range of electrophysiology, mapping and ablation procedures as well as devices, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator (ICD). We treat many different forms of arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats, using surgical techniques and catheter-based techniques (PVI) for:

• Atrial fibrillation (AF)  (the most common heart rhythm disorder)
• Atrial flutter
• Tachycardia (heart beats too fast)
• Bradycardia (heart beats too slow)
• Supraventricular tachycardia
• Wolfe Parkinson White syndrome
• Ventricular tachycardia
• Neurogenic disorders such as syncope
• Other complex arrhythmias

Cardiovascular Rehabilitation

Centennial Heart Center offers nutritional services, prescriptive exercise programs, stress testing, risk reduction programs and more to help those who already have heart and vascular disease and those who are at high risk of developing it.

Heart Failure Care

Our board-certified cardiologists are focused on developing and administering effective therapies for treating and managing heart failure and cardiomyopathy. The heart failure program equips patients to self-manage their condition, which helps alleviate symptoms, prevents reoccurrence of symptoms and decreases the need for emergency care or hospitalization.

Invasive Cardiology

Our medical professionals help diagnose and treat almost every kind of heart disease known to man. We offer the latest, most technologically advanced diagnostic tests and treatments for problems as common as chest pain (angina) or as serious as a heart attack (myocardial infarction). This may involve stents, angioplasty , ultrasound techniques, emboli-protection devices, enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP), and catheter-based cardiac assist devices like the Impella. 

Vascular Medicine

Centennial Heart Center provides a multidisciplinary team of experts to detect, diagnose, and manage complex and common diseases of the blood vessels, including peripheral artery disease, diffuse and premature atherosclerosis, conditions such as Raynaud’s disease and arterial, venous and lymphatic disorders.
