Structural Heart Disease

Structural heart disease

The structural heart program focuses on the surgical treatment of patients with heart disease and other vascular conditions. Surgical options may include repairing or replacing damaged valves through methods such as TAVR and SAVR.

Structural heart program in Covington

The cardiologists at Lakeview Hospital use the latest techniques to repair structural heart abnormalities and monitor your long-term health after treatment. Structural heart conditions are problems that occur within the heart's tissues or valves. They can occur at birth (congenital abnormality) or later in life, and, once diagnosed, should be addressed quickly by a specialist in structural heart care.

Patients can be referred by their primary care physician or cardiologist. Our team works with referring physicians to provide individualized care that caters to every patient’s medical history and personalized risk factors.
