Cardiology

Cardiology is the medical specialty that involves matters of the heart. This fist-sized muscle at the center of our circulatory system is the very definition of a vital organ. It works non-stop, pumping oxygen- and nutrient-infused blood to every part of your body through a complex system of blood vessels. So when you experience a disease or disorder of the heart, you want a healthcare team with proven expertise.

At Temecula Valley Hospital, in Temecula, CA, you’ll find teams dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of a comprehensive range of cardiovascular and heart valve disorders.

Providing a full spectrum of cardiac care

Even though a healthy heart is vital to your well-being, diseases and disorders of the heart are all too common. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, responsible for about a quarter of all deaths.

While heart disease has traditionally been thought of as primarily affecting men, that’s simply not the case. Women are at risk as well. In fact, more women than men have died of cardiovascular disease every year since 1984. 

For all of these reasons and more, effective diagnosis, management and treatment of heart disease is vitally important. Temecula Valley Hospital provides care for a full spectrum of diseases and disorders of the heart, including coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, high blood pressure, peripheral vascular disease, and many more.
