advanced techniques, including atherectomy and stents
- Therapy for arrythmias
(the "electrical" disturbances of the heart)
- Therapies for aortic
and mitral valve stenosis, including "balloon dilation" as a nonsurgical
option
- A new, nonsurgical
approach for atrial septal defects with a "Cardioseal device"
- Treatments for peripheral
vascular disease and stroke interventions
- Sophisticated diagnosis
of heart disease through the use of echocardiolography (heart ultrasound)
Good Samaritan Hospital's
Cardiology Program has been designated a "Center of Excellence" by a number
of large, self-insured corporations, which encourage their employees to
