Reasons to See A UVA Cardiologist

We can help find and even prevent problems before they start. If you do develop a serious condition, we can easily connect you to the right specialists.

Angina is pain or discomfort in the chest that lasts between 2-10 minutes. This discomfort can also be felt in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaws or back. Rest or nitroglycerin typically relieves the pain.

Metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Ventricular tachycardia (sometimes known as v-tach or v fib) is a common but serious heart condition where the heart beats too fast and the ventricles can’t pump enough blood to the body.

Sudden cardiac arrest is a malfunction of the heart's electrical system that occurs when the entire heart stops pumping without warning. It's responsible for 325,000 U.S. deaths each year.

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a fast heart rhythm from the upper chambers of the heart.

Learn about the treatment options available for arrhythmias at UVA, including drug therapy, pacemakers, ablations and implantable cardioverter defibrillators.

This treatment is designed to establish and maintain normal heart rhythm. Frequently, a cardioversion is needed to establish normal rhythm, and medications or ablation are used to maintain the rhythm.

This treatment strategy focuses on controlling your heart rate.
