Cardiovascular Conditions We Treat

Trinity Health Michigan provides cardiovascular care close to home. Our experts are located in clinics and hospitals throughout Southeast and West Michigan. You have access to the best available care for common and complex cardiovascular conditions.

Heart and vascular conditions we treat include:

Arrhythmias

Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that raise your risk of stroke. Our team includes physicians who specialize in these conditions (electrophysiologists). We provide ongoing care that helps you feel better for years to come. Learn more about arrhythmia treatments.

Arrhythmias we treat include:

• Atrial fibrillation (Afib), uneven electricals signals that cause the heart’s chambers to beat out of sync
• Atrial flutter, the heart’s upper chambers (atria) beat rapidly - in some cases, several hundred times per minute
• Bradycardia, an unusually slow heartbeat that reduces the amount of oxygen-rich blood that’s pumped out to the rest of the body
• Ventricular tachycardia, a rare arrhythmia that often occurs in people with other forms of heart disease

Common Heart Conditions

We deliver personalized care that slows the progression of heart disease. We offer prevention and wellness services to help people with early-stage heart disease. If you are recovering from a heart attack or living with a severe heart condition, specialized cardiovascular programs and clinics optimize your well-being.

Common heart conditions we treat include:

• Coronary artery disease, fatty deposits that cause narrowing in the vessels that carry blood to the heart
• Heart attack, artery narrowing that cuts off blood flow to the heart, causing tissue damage
• High blood pressure, blood moves through the arteries with unusually high pressure

Other Heart Conditions

Our expertise also includes rare and difficult-to-treat heart conditions. Care starts with a comprehensive evaluation. Trinity Health Michigan has advanced testing capabilities that lead to an accurate diagnosis so that you receive appropriate care. Learn more about cardiovascular disease testing.

Other heart conditions we treat include:

• Aortic aneurysm, a bulge in the aorta (the body's largest blood vessel) that can lead to life-threatening complications
• Cardiomyopathy, group of heart muscle diseases that cause an enlarged heart, weakness and heart failure
• Heart failure, the heart’s pumping ability is too weak to keep up with the body's need for oxygen-rich blood

Structural Heart and Valve Disease

Problems with the valves or other heart structures can affect function in many ways. Trinity Health Michigan is home to structural heart and valve experts. They use heart surgery and minimally invasive interventional cardiology procedures to help you feel better.

Types of structural heart and valve disease we treat include:

• Atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale, holes in the heart’s walls
• Valve regurgitation, in which the mitral valve does not fully close, causing blood to flow back toward the heart
• Valve stenosis, narrowing that prevents valves from fully opening, limiting blood flow through the vessel

Vascular Disease

Vascular surgeons treat conditions affecting the arteries and veins outside of the heart. Conditions may be painful, causing cosmetic issues or become life-threatening. We deliver comprehensive care that includes nearly any vascular disease test or treatment you may need.

Types of vascular disease we treat include:

• Aortic aneurysm, abnormal bulge in the walls of the aorta, the body's largest blood vessel
• Carotid artery disease, fatty deposits limit blood flow to the arteries supplying the brain
• Deep vein thrombosis, blood clots that form inside veins in the lower extremities
• Peripheral artery disease, fatty deposits that reduce blood flow to the arteries supplying the limbs
• Thoracic outlet syndrome, damaged vessels and nerves near the collarbone that cause pain and numbness in the shoulders and arms
• Varicose veins, damaged or weak leg veins that swell, bulge and twist
