General Cardiology

With a focus on prevention and early detection, Methodist is committed to helping patients improve their quality of life by improving their heart health. Methodist’s board-certified cardiologists offer an integrated approach to care, ensuring each patient has the information and resources necessary to manage their conditions and reduce their risk for heart disease and stroke.

Many of our providers offer the following diagnostic testing to identify injury, disease and abnormalities:

  • Echocardiography (echo)
  • Electrocardiography (EKG)
  • Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)
  • Prothrombin time (pro time) testing

When surgical treatment is necessary, our preoperative cardiac risk assessment helps ensure patient safety and the most successful outcomes possible. Our team of specialists also work collaboratively to develop the most comprehensive and personalized care plans to help prevent and manage a number of diseases and ailments, including:

  • Carotid artery disease
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Coronary artery disease
  • Hypertension
  • Lipid disorder

Interventional Cardiology

Methodist’s advanced imaging and other diagnostic techniques allow for comprehensive heart evaluation, treatment, education and guidance.

Thanks to catheterization labs at Methodist Hospital, Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital and Methodist Fremont Health, patients can expect the most accurate diagnoses and the safest, most effective treatments possible.

Cardiac catheterization may be necessary to identify the following heart conditions:

  • Atherosclerosis
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Congenital heart disease
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Valvular heart disease

Our interventional cardiology team specializes in a number of procedures, including:

  • Angioplasty
  • CardioMEMS™ HF System
  • Cardioversion
  • Chronic total occlusion (CTO)  and other coronary interventions
  • Stent placement

Electrophysiology

Managing heart rhythms takes a team approach. Methodist’s electrophysiology experts use specialized testing and state-of-the-art monitoring to identify irregular heartbeats (cardiac arrhythmias) and educate patients on the treatment that’s right for them.

Treatment options include the implantation, evaluation and programming of:

  • Pacemakers (including biventricular and wireless)
  • Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD)

Serious, often life-threatening arrhythmias called atrial fibrillation require more advanced, innovative technology. Our skilled team offers:

  • Convergent ablation
  • Cryoablation
  • Radiofrequency catheter ablation
  • WATCHMAN™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Device
