Cardiac Rehabilitation ... Heart Program Cardiology If you experience heart trouble, Allens cardiac team, including six cardiologists, is ready to help determine the right course of treatment for you. The cardiologists are able to make a diagnosis using many procedures and treatments. They may look inside your heart using catheterization and coronary angiograms. Another beneficial procedure is coronary angioplasty, the dilating of a narrowed or blocked area of the coronary artery by using a specialized balloon placed and inflated at the point of blockage. This procedure compresses the plaque material that is blocking the artery into the blood vessel wall, which allows improved blood flow to the area of the heart where the circulation has been poor or non-existent. Atherectomy and coronary artery stents are also available. Atherectomy utilizes a cutting device to remove plaque from the inside of an artery. A stent may be used as a permanent device to hold an artery wall open.

Procedure Offers Cure for Irregular Heart Beat A revolutionary catheter technique used in the treatment of the most prevalent type of irregular heartbeat is changing the lives of patients who have undergone the procedure at St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City.
Ablation therapy using radiofrequency energy has successfully cured patients with atrial fibrillation, the most common type of heart rhythm abnormality. "It has enabled people who would have previously been placed on heart drugs for life to be completely off medical therapy after the procedure," said Jonathan Steinberg, MD, an electrophysiologist and Chief of Cardiology at St. Lukes-Roosevelt. "Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is particularly prevalent among the elderly or those with cardiovascular disease. However, it can also be a troubling problem for younger patients without heart disease."
John McFee, a 36-year-old pharmacist and former New York City police lieutenant, had symptoms that felt like squirrels running around his chest, which started as palpitations about three years ago and gradually got worse, giving him a lot of pain and anxiety. "I was told to stay off alcohol and caffeine, tried to reduce stress and was put on a beta-blocker, but nothing helped," he said. He left the NYPD after suffering hip injury and had to have hip replacement. After the ablation procedure by Dr. Steinberg in April he has been totally off his heart medications and is feeling well. "I feel like a new man!" exclaimed Mr. McFee. | |
