Heart disease is tenacious. So are we.

We are experts at providing the medical support that allows people who already have cardiovascular disease live their best, most active lives. We work with patients and their families to reduce the likelihood and progression of cardiovascular disease through tailored care plans and lifestyle adjustments. 

Electrophysiology studies help to determine whether symptoms like chest pain, a fluttering in the chest, fainting, or dizziness are caused by a heart rhythm issue, and to pinpoint its cause. 

For most people, heart failure is a long-term condition that cannot be cured, only controlled. We help patients live their best, most active lives by recommending healthy lifestyle changes and medication. Sometimes, we implant devices to control heart rhythm, or perform heart surgery.

Interventional cardiologists use specialized catheter-based techniques to diagnose and treat coronary artery disease, vascular disease, structural cardiovascular disease, and congenital heart defects. The procedures minimize scarring, reduce pain, and speed recovery. 

Vascular specialists treat many vascular and circulatory system problems involving blood vessels and the lymphatic system. Many vascular conditions can be treated with medication or lifestyle changes, but when surgery is required, we can provide state-of-the-art care. 

If other treatments have not worked or cannot be used, surgery may be needed to correct cardiovascular problems. Surgery is used to fix heart valves that do not work well, bypass serious blockages around the heart, and insert medical devices, such as pacemakers. 

Because cardiovascular disease can take many forms, Grady uses the most advanced tests and diagnostic devices to pinpoint problems and determine the most effective course of treatment.
