Cardiac Surgery
The cardiology experts at USC Arcadia Hospital are skilled and experienced in a wide array of cardiac surgeries. Some of the surgeries we perform include minimally-invasive open-heart procedures; atrial fibrillation surgery; artery plaque removal; and others.
-
Electrophysiology
Electrophysiology studies (EPS) are exams that discern the details of an irregular heartbeat and help the doctor determine what can be done to treat it. An EPS is a minor surgery during which a small incision is made in the groin area where a doctor will insert catheters and weave them through a vein to the heart. Electrical pulses are emitted through the catheter that stimulates the heart into beating at desired speeds.
The catheters will record these signals and the resulting information should tell the doctor where the irregular heart beat is coming from. EPS's are mostly used for diagnostic purposes and not treatment. When the operation is over the medical team will patch you up and discuss the results with you. -
Cardiac Rehab
USC Arcadia Hospital is proud to offer residents of LA County and the surrounding area access to our comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program. In this proven heart health program, participants work under the supervision of medical professionals to improve physical fitness and develop healthy habits that reduce the risk of heart disease and benefit their overall well-being.
Choosing to undergo cardiac rehab is ultimately a personal choice. Our team respects that making an effort to improve your health is your decision, and works to help you achieve your goals, rather than forcing participants to work towards a constructed "ideal fitness level." Your rehab trainer will be happy to help you figure out what your goals are, and together you can work towards a healthier heart in a program that you feel is truly about you and your needs. -
Cardiac Cath & Stenting
A cardiac catheterization (cardiac cath) procedure is used to examine your heart and check for damage and signs of heart disease. These are very common, safe procedures for patients who have recently experienced a cardiac event or suffer from chest pains. During a cardiac cath, a small puncture is made in the skin and a blood vessel through which the catheter is inserted. The doctor guides the catheter to the heart, examines the area, and performs further procedures as needed.
The catheter used during a cardiac cath may be outfitted with various instruments so that the doctor can treat certain conditions discovered during the operation. One of the most common cardiac procedures is called stenting.Stents are often used to treat coronary artery disease, aneurysms, blood clots, and more.
