Our Doctors

Care and Treatment

Conditions Treated

Heart transplantation is a surgical option to treat advanced heart failure. Heart failure affects nearly five million adults in the U.S., and may be the result of a number of other heart conditions, including:

Heart failure

Also known as congestive heart failure (CHF). This occurs when the heart muscle fails to pump blood due to a range of conditions.

Cardiomyopathy

The deterioration of the function of the heart muscle that often leads to heart failure.

Arrhythmia

An abnormal heart rhythm that is considered serious when it causes the heart to beat too slow or too fast to effectively pump blood. 

Congenital heart disease

A defect in the structure of the heart and associated vessels, present at birth.

Coronary artery disease

Occurs when arteries in the heart narrow or become blocked; may cause angina, a heart attack, or congestive heart failure.

Heart attack

Also known as a myocardial infarction. This occurs when one of more regions of the heart muscle experience a severe or prolonged lack of oxygen caused by blocked blood flow to the heart muscle.

Valvular heart disease

Any disease involving one or more of the valves of the heart. Valvular heart disease may be inherited or acquired.

Amyloidosis

A disease characterized by an abnormal build up of proteins (called amyloids) in various organs in the body.
