(Aug. 14, 2019) \u2013 UCHealth is expanding its array of heart services in Fort Collins with the addition of a second cardiac catheterization lab at Poudre Valley Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUCHealth is committed to providing the very best care to our patients, and I am thrilled that we are able to continue to expand what we have to offer our patients here at PVH,\u201d said Kevin Unger, president and CEO of PVH.<\/p>\n<p>Crews are already building the new first-floor cath lab, which will be unveiled in late fall, according to Rob Wagner, UCHealth\u2019s senior director of cardiovascular services in northern Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>A cath lab is a special procedure space where physicians use catheters \u2013 tiny, flexible tubes \u2013 used instead of surgery to access the heart and blood vessels. Specialized diagnostic imaging equipment is used to see the arteries and chambers of the heart and gauge how well blood is flowing to and from the heart.<\/p>\n<p>The second cath lab will boost the hospital\u2019s capacity to treat patients with emergencies, like heart attacks, where immediate care is needed to diagnose and clear blocked arteries. The new addition also will enable UCHealth to offer certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/arrhythmia\/symptoms-diagnosis--monitoring-of-arrhythmia\/electrophysiology-studies-eps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">electrophysiology procedures<\/a> in Fort Collins for the first time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9823\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9823\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9823\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/07092312\/UCHealth_MCR_HeartProcedure-WEB.webp\" alt=\"A team of UCHealth providers are shown in this photo performing a transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure at UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/07092312\/UCHealth_MCR_HeartProcedure-WEB.webp 1200w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/07092312\/UCHealth_MCR_HeartProcedure-WEB-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/07092312\/UCHealth_MCR_HeartProcedure-WEB-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/07092312\/UCHealth_MCR_HeartProcedure-WEB-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/07092312\/UCHealth_MCR_HeartProcedure-WEB-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/03\/07092312\/UCHealth_MCR_HeartProcedure-WEB-200x133.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9823\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A team of UCHealth providers, from left, nurse Erin Walsh, Dr. Justin Strote, Dr. Brad Oldemeyer, Dr. Jeff Koepp, and Dr. Mark Guadagnoli, perform a transcatheter procedure.\u00a0 Photo by Kelly Tracer, UCHealth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the most common electrophysiology procedures that will be offered at PVH when the second cath lab opens is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/dealing-with-abnormal-heart-rhythm\/\">cardiac ablation<\/a>, a procedure that is used to treat irregular heartbeat and atrial fibrillation. During this highly specialized procedure, catheters are inserted through the veins in a patient\u2019s groin and extended to the heart. Electrodes on the end of the catheters record the heart\u2019s electrical signals and identify the regions where abnormal heart rhythms originate. Other catheters are then used to freeze and cauterize the problem areas to restore a normal heart rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>The electrophysiology treatments at PVH will be conducted by the same board-certified cardiac electrophysiologists who offer the procedures at UCHealth Heart and Vascular Center at UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, which is the largest electrophysiology program in the region and one of the largest in Colorado.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/provider\/russell-r-heath-md-clinical-cardiac-electrophysiology\/\">Dr. Russell Heath<\/a> is one of the experts who be caring for patients in the new cath lab at PVH. He has seen UCHealth\u2019s electrophysiology program in northern Colorado \u2013 as well as the demand for electrophysiology treatments throughout the nation &#8211; grow tremendously in recent years as technological advancements have expanded the options for patients with arrhythmia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPatients and families should know that when it comes to complex arrhythmia care, they are not alone,\u201d Heath said. \u201cThere is almost always something we can do to improve their condition and in many cases alleviate the arrhythmia completely. The UCHealth cardiac electrophysiology team is run by seven full-time cardiac electrophysiologists, and we are excited to bring our years of experience in northern Colorado close to home for our patients who live in and around Fort Collins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the heart program in Fort Collins, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/uchealth-heart-center-fort-collins\/\">uchealth.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FORT COLLINS, Colo.
