Taking control of your cardiovascular health is achievable.

By proactively addressing these factors, you are taking the reins of your heart health destiny.

What is a cardiac ablation procedure?

Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat certain types of fast heart rhythms. A specialist uses catheters to locate and eliminate the problematic heart tissue with heat or cold energy, often resolving the arrhythmia.

What is a heart murmur?

A heart murmur is an extra sound heard when listening to your heart. Many murmurs are innocent and harmless; however, Dr. Saniour is an expert at determining the cause, often using an echocardiogram to see if the murmur is related to a heart valve problem that needs monitoring or treatment.
