When it comes to finding high-quality care for your heart, you don’t have to travel far from home.

WHAT KIND OF CARDIOLOGY CARE CAN I GET IN EAU CLAIRE?

At Marshfield Clinic, you can get comprehensive care for heart conditions like coronary artery disease, heart failure and rhythm abnormalities.

“Many heart conditions can be managed through lifestyle changes, medications and careful monitoring,” said Lawrence Rajan, MD, an interventional cardiologist at Marshfield Medical Center - Eau Claire. “If you need advanced treatment, our interventional cardiologists can help you with that, too.”

When blood vessels become blocked, interventional cardiologists use nonsurgical methods to open blockages using catheters to deliver balloons and stents to your heart to restore blood flow.
If you’re having severe or chronic issues with your heart’s rhythm, you may have to see a cardiac electrophysiologist (EP). Our Eau Claire team can provide consultations and help connect you with the specialized care you need.

The cardiology care offered by Marshfield Clinic covers a wide range of issues people can have with their hearts, and the team works together to keep you healthy.

WHEN SHOULD I SEE A HEART SPECIALIST?

You should also consider visiting with your primary care provider if you have a risk factor for heart disease, like a family history of heart problems or a personal history of smoking. Heart screenings every 10 years starting at 40 years old are recommended to help catch cardiovascular problems, even if you are relatively healthy.
