OSF Cardiovascular Institute runs theHeart Transplant Program在皮奥里亚的OSF医疗圣弗朗西斯医疗中心，这是伊利诺斯州南部唯一的同类医院。

Follow-up care can require multiple visits per week for several weeks. Having a care option in Peoria provides a more convenient option than going to Chicago or somewhere else.

The surgeons, advanced heart failure cardiologists and a transplant coordinator on call 24/7, guide you through this journey of referral to transplant and beyond.

有些心脏依靠创新技术才能正常工作。OSF Cardiovascular Institute makes it a priority to stay up-to-date on the latest developments that can help our patients.

Among our newest technology:

• Left ventricular assist device(LVAD) is implanted in the chest and helps pump blood from the lower left heart chamber to the rest of the body.
• Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) pumps blood from your body to a machine that oxygenates your blood and circulates it throughout your body.

Coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease. It is the result of plaque build-up in the arteries, hindering the supply of blood to the heart.

这一过程将一根小导管(一种长、窄、灵活的管子)穿过腹股沟的血管到达动脉，打开阻塞或狭窄的血管。通过充气的气球放置支架(金属网)穿过阻塞物。

This is often used in patients considered at high risk for problems with more traditional surgery.

OSF Cardiovascular Institute offers a variety of innovativeelectrophysiology服务评估，理解和纠正儿童和成人心脏的电功能，帮助保持心跳健康，持续和强大。

像我们这样一个强大的电生理学项目不仅需要专业知识，还需要广泛的治疗工具。心脏是一种复杂的肌肉，因此您需要一个具有特定工具的程序来满足您的独特需求。

If there is something wrong with the shape or strength of any one part of your heart – interior walls, valves, arteries or veins – it can lead to your heart not working correctly. Some structural heart conditions are with you when you’re born; others develop as you age.

For thetreatment of structural heart disease, we work to control the symptoms and stop the disease progression to lower the risk for heart attack, stroke and other possible complications.

Heart failureis a chronic medical condition requiring careful monitoring and frequent treatment modifications. People with heart failure tend to be admitted to hospitals often. We help them understand and monitor their condition to avoid hospitalization.

OSF心血管研究所的团队是心衰诊断和治疗的专家。我们还帮助心力衰竭患者改变生活方式。

许多人直到心脏病发作才意识到自己有心脏病。Fortunately, aheart CT scancan provide an early warning.

The scan checks for early stages of heart disease by measuring plaque buildup along the artery walls. This buildup narrows the arteries and slows the flow of blood to the heart. If blood flow becomes completely blocked, a heart attack can occur.

With Fractional Flow Technology – FFR – we can even calculate how much each blockage is limiting blood flow without needing an extra scan.

Cancer survival rates continue to improve due to better treatment options. However, cancer treatment can damage your heart, especially if you are at risk for heart disease prior to the cancer diagnosis.

Ourcardio-oncology programworks to prevent, monitor and treat cardiovascular disease in cancer patients and survivors to ensure long-term health. We have invested in state-of-the-art imaging technology for our cardio-oncology program to ensure our patients receive the best treatment possible.
