Ascension Medical Group St. Vincent - Indianapolis Cardiovascular Surgery
Cardiologists at Ascension Medical Group, St. Vincent - Heart Care, in Indianapolis, IN, provide care for your heart disease symptoms.
Advanced surgical care for heart conditions
Cardiologists at Ascension Medical Group St. Vincent - Indianapolis Cardiovascular Surgery are specially trained in the latest heart and vascular testing, treatment and procedures to prevent, diagnose and treat heart disease. If you need advanced surgical care or other specialized heart care, your doctor can connect you with another heart care specialist. Start a conversation with a cardiologist who listens. We take the time to understand you and your health to provide heart care and a personalized care plan that's right for you.
Personalized care for you starts with a collaborative conversation. Talk with your cardiologist about new symptoms, health history, managing medications and risk for heart disease. Your care team coordinates any heart tests, diagnostics and treatments, and monitors your heart care to help prevent more serious conditions such as heart attack and stroke. Some of our cardiologists are also interventional cardiologists and perform minimally invasive heart procedures such as angioplasty and stent placement to open clogged arteries. And if advanced surgery is part of your care plan, your cardiologist will connect you with a cardiovascular surgeon.
If your care requires imaging, lab testing, or pharmacy support, we help connect the dots for you. Imaging tests, cholesterol tests, heart enzyme blood tests, EKG, and blood pressure monitoring help your doctor diagnose heart disease — irregular heartbeat, leaky heart valve, clogged coronary artery, and more.
If you are experiencing chest pain, especially in combination with jaw or arm pain, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting or difficulty breathing, you might be having a heart attack. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away.
