Our Cardiology Team in Oneonta
Our team of highly qualified practitioners and advanced practice clinicians provide you with heart care you can trust.
Heart Care You Can Trust
Medical Cardiology
Bassett’s medical cardiology team treats patients for a variety of heart conditions including cardiac arrest, heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. They also offer preventative heart care, and diagnostic heart services such as EKGs, stress tests, CT scans, and MRIs. They can also connect patients with other heart care services such as cardiac surgery, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology (EP), and cardiac rehabilitation. You can rely on our heart care specialists to provide you with the best heart care possible.
Heart Surgery & Minimally Invasive Procedures
If you are experiencing chest pain or pressure, fatigue, shortness of breath, or have a history of heart disease — Bassett’s cardiologists can evaluate you and recommend treatments. These may include minimally invasive heart surgery or more complex cardiac surgery, including open-heart surgery. These may be necessary to help open or bypass blocked arteries, replace damaged heart valves, or correct arrhythmias.
Our cardiology team also offers interventional cardiology procedures. These minimally invasive heart procedures involve inserting a small tube, called a catheter, into your heart or a blood vessel to resolve your heart problem. With this type of procedure, your recovery time is quicker and less painful than with open heart surgery.
Electrophysiology
Your heart is regulated by electrical impulses that signal the heart to beat in a certain rhythm. When the rhythm is interrupted it causes an irregular heartbeat pattern known as Atrial fibrillation (AFib) or an Arrhythmia. Our electrophysiologists are cardiologists who can identify and treat these electrical malfunctions of the heart using defibrillators, pacemakers, electrocardiograms (EKGs), and other devices.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
If your heart procedure requires cardiac rehabilitation, you can count on our specially trained team to oversee your rehabilitation program to help you recover, rebuild your strength, and reduce the risk of future heart-related issues. We’re here to help you resume your normal, active life as soon as possible.
