Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are highly effective procedures for visualizing the heart and helping doctors understand your heart’s health. Both methods are non-invasive and do not require anesthesia. Here at Weill Cornell Medicine, our physicians use the most advanced CT and MRI technology available.
Vascular imaging evaluates blood vessels to determine if the blood is flowing throughout your body in a healthy way. At Weill Cornell Medicine, our cardiologists use the most advanced technology and equipment to visualize your blood flow. This helps your doctor determine the best treatment approach for your optimal health and well-being.
Atrial fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythms) caused by irregular electrical transmissions through the heart. With atrial fibrillation, the atria (the two small upper chambers of the heart) beat chaotically, which can cause blood to pool and clots to form.
Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of:
• Stroke
• Cardiomyopathy (the inability of the heart to pump blood around the body)
Heart failure causes the heart to become too weak to pump blood to other parts of the body effectively. This serious condition may be treated with medication, but advanced heart failure may require a heart transplant or other intervention.
Weill Cornell Medicine offers exceptional care to help our patients live longer and enjoy a better quality of life.
Adult Congenital Heart Disease Expertise at Weill Cornell Medicine
Congenital heart disease is the most common form of birth defect. Thanks to modern-day advances in medical and surgical care, most children born with serious congenital heart defects survive long into adulthood.
Pulmonary hypertension (often referred to as “PH”) is a type of high blood pressure in the lung vessels. This condition affects the arteries in the lungs and right side of the heart, making it harder for your heart to pump oxygen-rich blood.
Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, occurs when the heart can’t pump enough to meet the body’s demands. Heart failure, which affects more than five million Americans, is often a chronic (long-term) condition but may develop suddenly.
