High-Quality Colorado Heart and Vascular Care
Our cardiologists and cardiology specialists work diligently to provide the best cardiac care and deliver excellent patient outcomes when it matters most. Our experts spot illnesses early and respond to heart failure with award-winning speed and precision.
- Cardiac Catheterization Lab Services
-
In the cardiac cath lab, we perform lifesaving heart catheterization designed to open clogged arteries. Heart catheterization is a low-risk, 30- to 60-minute procedure to diagnose or treat cardiovascular disease.
Through minimally invasive intervention, our team can correct coronary artery blockages with balloon angioplasty and coronary artery stenting, including percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, coronary artery stenting and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Some of the cardiovascular and heart conditions that heart catheterization can identify and potentially treat are:
- Cardiomyopathy
- Congenital heart disease
- Coronary artery disease
- Fractional flow reserve (FFR)
- Heart valve problems
- Primary Stroke Center
-
With expert doctors, advanced technology and efficient processes, our primary stroke center is ready to deliver advanced stroke care 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Quick intervention is essential for a stroke. We have telestroke treatment capabilities, allowing our specialists to connect with patients via videoconference for a faster assessment with the goal of minimizing permanent injury to the brain.
- Diagnostic Testing
-
Early detection is an important way to identify abnormalities. With our robust offering of cardiac testing, we can locate and treat conditions more quickly than ever. Our board-certified cardiologists and radiologists lean on years of mastering cardiac screening to diagnose heart disease and other medical conditions.
Using state-of-the-art technology and the expertise of a comprehensive cardiovascular treatment team, we perform diagnostic procedures and testing, including:
- Cardiac catheterization
- Carotid ultrasound scans
- Computed tomography (CT) calcium score tests
- Echocardiogram
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- Interventional radiology (IR) venous intervention
- Lipid or advanced lipid testing
- Sleep studies
- Stress testing (Nuclear Medicine SPECT)
- Treadmill testing
- Ultrasound arterial and venous exams
- Women’s Heart Health
-
Cold sweats, unusual tiredness, anxiety and loss of appetite might sound like symptoms of hormone changes or getting older. But they can actually be signs of heart disease, the leading cause of death in women. Because women experience heart disease differently than men, we believe treatment should also be different. And that starts with care led by a highly skilled cardiologist who understands women’s heart health.
Evaluating Your Heart Disease Risk
This confidential assessment can help give you a better idea of your heart disease risk if you’re over age 20 and don’t have heart disease or diabetes currently. While it can’t replace an evaluation by a medical professional, it’s a good starting point to better understand your heart health and get the best possible care.
