Has your doctor recommended treatment for your cardiovascular condition? Dignity Health Central California hospitals offer many treatment options to restore your heart’s functions and relieve your symptoms.
Our doctors rely upon advanced diagnostic protocols to pinpoint the exact cause of heart and blood vessel conditions and recommend the most appropriate care. If your condition requires surgery, your surgeon will choose from a range of treatments — from minimally invasive procedures to open heart surgery — to select one with the lowest risk and best chance of success.

Cardiovascular treatments can correct many different heart conditions, relieve your symptoms, and improve your quality of life. Common cardiovascular treatments include:
Almost all cardiovascular procedures are performed in one of our state-of-the-art hospitals or surgical centers. A multiple-day stay in a special cardiac intensive care unit is typically required after a major surgery. Minimally invasive procedures may only require an overnight hospital stay.
Your heart care team will provide detailed instructions for home care when you are ready to be discharged. With surgery, you will likely have some physical limitations through the initial part of recovery — discuss these before surgery, so you can plan ahead. Typically, minimally invasive procedures have shorter recovery periods than open heart surgery.
