Heart Disease Prevention and Treatment at Emory Crawford Long Hospital

Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in men and women, but increasingly, effective information about the various causes has led to better prevention and treatment of heart disease. In addition, the highly skilled and experienced cardiologists at Emory Crawford Long Hospital have made enormous strides in their ability to treat a wide variety of heart conditions and promote cardiology in Atlanta. Emory Crawford Long Hospital continues to be on the cutting-edge of techniques and our physicians pride themselves on offering the best care for problems relating to cardiology in the Atlanta area.

Our cardiologists offer the full spectrum of heart care — from the prevention and treatment of heart disease to treating congenital heart defects and individuals with arterial fibrillation, arrhythmia, and irregular heartbeats. We also offer a complete heart-risk evaluation and follow-up care after procedures such as angioplasty and heart catheterization.

Better Approaches to Cardiology in Atlanta

Emory Crawford Long Hospital also houses the Carlyle Fraser Heart Center, which offers a full range of innovative techniques for the prevention and treatment of heart disease as well as unique approaches to cardiology in Atlanta, including:

• Comprehensive arrhythmia management including pacemaker and Internal Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) implantation. ICD implants sense life-threatening arrhythmias and shock the heart back into its proper rhythm.
• Balloon angioplasty and athrectomy, which removes rigid buildup (e.g., calcium) and removes arterial blockage rather than pushing it aside.
• Multiple forms of echocardiography, which uses sound waves to view the function of the heart.
• Coumadin management
• Cutting edge cardiac imaging, including cardiac MRI, PET and 64 slice cardia CT with combined PET capabilities (one of the first in North America)
• Percutaneous catherter procedures for mapping and ablation of AF, including state-of-the-art electrophysiology (EP) technology and dedicated EP labs
• Innovative surgical treatments — surgical ablation procedures, including concomitant procedures in conjunction with other planned cardiac surgery, stand-alone procedures, left atrial appendage amputation and innovative, minimally invasive closed chest thoracoscopic approach.
