As Krannert Institute cardiologists, we integrate conventional cardiac services with the newest procedures and technologies to provide state-of-the-art care for our patients with known or suspected cardiovascular diseases.  We offer the latest diagnostic and treatment services for the full-range of cardiovascular disorders.  We provide cardiovascular care at Methodist Hospital's Clarian Cardiovascular Center and at Indiana University Hospital, Wishard Hospital and the Roudebush Veterans Administration Hospital.  Campus wide, we performed nearly 3,500 diagnostic cardiac catheterizations and approximately 1,300 cardiac interventional procedures, ranging from coronary and peripheral vascular interventions to highly complex valvuloplasty, septal ablation for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and catheter based closure for atrial septal defects.  Our clinical electrophysiologists performed more than 1,000 invasive laboratory procedures and device implantations.  Areas of particular growth and innovation within electrophysiology include catheter-based treatment of atrial fibrillation, as well as implantation of biventricular pacemakers for treatment of advanced heart failure.  Our electrophysiologists are leaders in the application of non-fluoroscopic stereotactic catheter guidance techniques.  These techniques enhance the safety and effectiveness of pacemaker lead placement and radiofrequency catheter ablation.

The Krannert Institute of Cardiology is our major outpatient evaluation and testing.  Krannert echocardiographers continue their national leadership in the development and investigation of noninvasive cardiac risk assessment.  We also provide nuclear cardiology and new cardiac magnetic resonance and CT imaging programs.  The peripheral Vascular Evaluation and Intervention Program continues to expand.  Other specialized programs include the Women's Heart Advantage Program and multidisciplinary Advanced Heart Care Program, which focuses on patients with heart failure and includes our ventricular assist device and cardiac transplantation programs.  Our outreach clinical activities include outpatient and in-patient services, as well as cardiovascular testing at Clarian West and Clarian North suburban hospitals.
