Ventura cardiology services

Los Robles Health System provides a wide range of personalized services for various conditions, including heart attack, heart failure, heart arrhythmia, structural heart disease, valve disease and peripheral vascular disease.

We provide heart and vascular care at Los Robles Regional Medical Center, the first hospital in Ventura County to perform open heart surgery. Our network also includes the Cardiovascular Institute of Los Robles Health System, which specializes in cardiothoracic surgery. We provide comprehensive, outpatient cardiac rehabilitation at Los Robles Rehabilitation Hospital located in Westlake Village.

Cardiac emergency care

Our goal is to significantly reduce the mortality rate of patients who visit our emergency room with chest pain. As a STEMI-designated heart attack center for rapid heart attack response, our ER is staffed 24/7 with specialists highly skilled to care for patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) heart attack, the most severe type of heart attack, and other cardiac events.

Cardiac rehabilitation

Our cardiac rehabilitation program helps cardiac patients return to a productive lifestyle following a heart attack or heart surgery. The program is carefully structured to meet each patient’s fitness level and accommodate individual capabilities and limitations.

Heart screening and imaging

We provide patients with comprehensive heart imaging tests to properly identify and prevent cardiovascular diseases such as angiogram, echocardiogram, electrocardiogram (EKG) and stress tests.

Additionally, our specialists perform a wide array of interventional heart imaging procedures using the latest diagnostic technologies. Some of these non-surgical procedures include percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary atherectomy, device implantation and stent placement.

Heart surgery

New advancements in heart surgery mean repairs and replacements once lasting a few years may now last decades. Our heart surgeons are skilled in the latest surgical procedures and techniques, including coronary bypass surgery, maze surgery for atrial fibrillation, transcatheter surgical treatment for structural heart diseases and valve surgery.

Vascular surgery

Our comprehensive vascular care includes preventive services, diagnostic expertise and the latest in both endovascular and traditional surgical techniques to treat vascular conditions such as carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysms and varicose veins.
