• Cryotherapy
  In cryotherapy, cold energy is also used for catheter-based ablation treatment of arrhythmia. It is particular useful for ablation around the atrioventricular node. During cryohterapy, the removal of heart from the tissue is performed rather than injected of cold energy into the tissue. This creates a temperature gradient ranging from sub-zero cryogenic temperature at the tip/tissue interface of the catheter to body temperature at sites away from the catheter tip. The cryo zone expands during freezing and shrinks upon rewarming. The cooling and freezing in the living tissue thus affects the cellular function and activity and causes ablation. Cryotherapy is quite safe and effective and is mainly used in peri-nodal procedures.
• Medical Weight Loss
  Some people can lower their blood pressure with lifestyle changes including weight loss, exercise, and dietary changes. You should work towards achieving and maintaining your ideal weight. Even a small weight loss is beneficial. It is helpful to eat low salt, low fat, low calorie, low cholesterol, and high fiber food. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is a helpful guide for people with high blood pressure. You should quit smoking, quit illegal drug use, and avoid alcohol.
• Primary Care
• Smoking Cessation
  Smoking is a very preventable cause of heart disease. If you do not smoke, do not start. Do not expose yourself to secondhand smoke. If you do smoke, quit. There are many new smoking cessation products and resources that can make quitting smoking easier, and we are happy to discuss them with you.
• High Cholesterol
• Electrocardiogram
  An arrhythmia is a problem with the speed or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm. An arrhythmia occurs because the heart’s electrical conduction system is not working properly. They can be harmless or life-threatening. Tests such as EKGs, stress tests and electrophysiologic studies are used to diagnose causes of arrhythmias.

• Ultrasound
  An aneurysm is an abnormal dilation or “ballooning” in the wall of an artery. An aneurysm can grow and may rupture causing dangerous bleeding inside the body that can be fatal. Most aneurysms occur in the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Aneurysms can often be detected by Xray, CT or ultrasound. Treatment can be either medical to reduce blood pressure and decrease the chance of rupture or surgery to repair the dilated aneurysmal vessel.
• MRI
  A PFO usually causes no signs or symptoms and is not treated unless the child or adult has symptoms of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke. A PFO can be detected with an echocardiography, chest X-ray and cardiac MRI scan. Blood thinning medications may be used for a patient with PFO who have had a stroke to reduce the risk of blood clot formation. Nonsurgical (catheter-based) closure of the hole is an alternative for individuals unable to take blood-thinning medications or those who have a second stroke while on medications.
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  Heartland Cardiology was founded in order to embark on new horizons in advanced cardiovascular care with a new hi-tech business model. We were fortunate that we split off of a premier multi-specialty group with excellent physicians professionally and ethically. After gaining our “independence” in 1994, we implemented a state of the art Electronic Medical Record and scheduling system (EMR). We subsequently added new services such as nuclear medicine, expanded our inpatient coverage to other hospital systems in Wichita and established several outreach clinics across Kansas.

Surgeons

• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  Cardioversion (an electrical current used to reset the hearts normal rhythm), ablation therapy (a minimally invasive procedure), or open-heart or minimally-invasive surgery.
