Ascension Medical Group Wisconsin - Menomonee Falls

Understanding your risk factors for developing heart disease can help prevent heart attack and stroke. Ascension Wisconsin provides a network of doctors and care teams specializing in heart care. We start by listening to understand you and your health concerns. Then, we work with you to create a care plan that’s right for you.

Helping you improve your heart health

When your energy level is different than usual, your heart starts racing or you have symptoms of a heart disease, we’re here to help. Your cardiologist helps you recognize how other factors, such as reflux, medications and other health treatments, can affect your heart. We use heart imaging tests, cholesterol tests, heart enzyme blood tests, EKG, and blood pressure monitoring to detect all types of heart disease — irregular heartbeat, leaky heart valve, clogged coronary artery, and more. 

If you are experiencing symptoms of heart disease, contact your doctor. Symptoms may be different between men and women: 

• Chest pain or discomfort
• Feeling weak, light-headed, or faint
• Pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck, or back
• Pain or discomfort in one or both arms or shoulders
• Shortness of breath

For a life-threatening emergency, go directly to the ER or call 911.

Specialty care for AFib and other types of heart disease

Cardiologists provide specialty care for arrhythmia and other heart rhythm disorders. We focus on helping you reduce your risk for stroke and heart attack. A common type of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib. Having AFib increases your risk for a stroke or transient ischemic attack (also called a TIA or mini-stroke).
