Heart Care at Wellstar MCG Health Medical Center

Expert Heart Care by a Collaborative Team

We care for people with disorders of the heart, arteries and veins. Using state-of-the-art technology, advanced medicine and cutting-edge treatment, we work with our patients to improve their heart health. In addition to general adult cardiology, we also have pediatric cardiologists at Wellstar Children’s Hospital of Georgia who specialize in infant, pediatric and adolescent heart care.

Our cardiovascular team of heart and vascular specialists work together to provide comprehensive, coordinated care. People with heart conditions can be cared for close to home at Wellstar’s cardiology locations in the CSRA. Our goal is to help you understand what to expect and achieve your best heart health.

• Amyloidosis

Our Services  

We offer several subspecialty programs at Wellstar, including interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, advanced heart failure, structural heart and valve and cardiovascular surgery. 
Our heart care team offers:

• Expertise in cardiovascular care: Our interventional cardiologists and electrophysiologists have earned national recognition in treating coronary artery disease and arrhythmias, respectively. We have advanced heart failure specialists and cardiothoracic surgeons who take on cases that other centers consider too challenging to treat.
• Advanced diagnostic testing: We are the only center to offer cardiac MRI, which provides our cardiologists with the information they need to help make important decisions about your care.
• Specialized programs: Pregnancy or taking medications such as chemotherapy drugs can sometimes affect how your heart functions. We offer programs that involve other Wellstar specialists, including OB/GYNs, oncologists and neurologists, who have expertise to work with patients who need specialized care.
• Clinical trial opportunities: We strive to identify new preventive approaches, medications and devices (such as stents, heart valves and pacemakers) to treat cardiovascular disease. We are also exploring stem cell therapy to treat heart failure.
