Anticoagulation Clinic
The Anticoagulation Clinic at National Jewish Health follows patients who are taking anticoagulant medicines (blood thinners), which help prevent blood clots. If you are taking an anticoagulant, the amount of medicine in your blood should be monitored closely to assure you are getting enough medicine to prevent blood clots, yet not too much to cause bleeding. Regular visits to the Anticoagulation Clinic are important to monitor your blood levels closely. The Anticoagulation Team includes a doctor, nurse, pharmacist and lab members. Learn more.
Cardiac Sarcoid Program
In patients with sarcoidosis, it is estimated that at least 20 percent of patients have some element of cardiac involvement. Making use of our Institute for Advanced Biomedical Imaging, along with a full arsenal of diagnostic tools, the Cardiac Sarcoid program excels in the evaluation and management of patients with known or suspected or cardiac sarcoidosis.
Exertional Dyspnea Program
Shortness of breath is often the result of dysfunction of the heart, lungs, or both. Our exertional dyspneaprogram uses a multidisciplinary approach using experts from multiple specialties and diagnostic modalities from our Institute for Advanced Biomedical Imaging to yield a precise diagnosis. Our specialty is in the diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction (abnormal heart relaxation), pulmonary hypertension, intracardiac shunt (at rest or exercise-induced), coronary disease and systolic heart failure.
Integrated Secondary Pulmonary Hypertension Program
Secondary pulmonary hypertension often has a cardiac cause. Our cardiac experts can give your heart a thorough evaluation to assess heart function, valvular function, diastolic function, and other forms of cardiac dysfunction. Using a multidisciplinary approach from both a pulmonary and cardiac perspective yields an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan that gets results.
Heart Failure Diagnosis and Management Program
Our cardiology experts are trained in the latest methods in diagnosing and treating cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Our expertise in ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies, their diagnosis and etiologies as well as management and treatment modalities markedly improves symptoms and patient outcomes.
Coronary Artery Disease Program
The number one killer in the United States is coronary heart disease. Our coronary artery disease program excels in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of coronary disease using the latest technologies, medications and diagnostic tools.
Valvular Disease Program
Disorders of the heart valves such as regurgitation and stenosis are very common problems affecting heart function. Using state-of-the-art echo and cardiac MRI, our heart valve experts can diagnose and treat virtually any valve disorder.
Heart Disease Prevention Program
Prevention is the cornerstone in cardiovascular medicine. Our prevention program will determine your cardiovascular risk and help you to prevent or reduce the likelihood of future cardiovascular problems, such as heart attack and stroke.
Human Performance Program
As a casual athlete or all-star Olympian, performance is critical. Attaining a "personal best" is the goal of any athlete, whether you're just starting or professional. Our team of experts can help determine your exercise capacity, measure heart function with pinpoint accuracy and help to guide you to even better performance.
