About Our HEART TEAM
If you are diagnosed with a heart valve condition, you’ll be evaluated by our Heart Team.
This elite group of doctors and specialists includes board-certified cardiothoracic surgeons,
interventional cardiologists, echocardiographers, a cardiovascular anesthesiologist, as well as
specially trained nurses and technicians.
Our Heart Team is experienced in both aortic valve replacement (AVR) and transcatheter
aortic valve Replacement (TAVR) procedures, and can help determine the most appropriate
treatment option for you.
The DECISION-MAKING Process
The Heart Team leaves no stone unturned. Together these specialists review all your test
results and study your unique symptoms and needs. They address all of your questions, and
only after careful discussion and collaboration does the team recommend the treatment
option most beneficial for you.
Here at the Valve Program we recognize that with these serious health issues come
tremendous stress, uncertainty and fear — for you, your family and your loved ones. So
we provide a Valve Clinical Coordinator to guide you through the process and ensure you
understand the information and treatment options you’ve been provided. With the most
advanced technologies available, expert specialists, and unmatched compassion and support,
you’ll get exactly what you need from the Valve Program.
