A Comprehensive Point Of View

At Goshen Heart and Vascular Center, we realize that problems in the outlying peripheral blood vessels are critical to the heart and its arteries. In fact, blockages in peripheral blood vessels can increase your risk for a heart attack or stroke, as well as cause disabling leg pain, aneurysms or insufficient blood flow to various organs. For this reason, we effectively treat a broad spectrum of heart and vascular diseases — some even occurring simultaneously within the same circulatory system. These include:

• Coronary heart disease
• Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
• Stroke
• Aneurysms, including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
• Heart attack
• Angina (chest pains)
• Arrhythmia
• Blood clots
• Diabetic ulcers and other non-healing wounds
• Venous insufficiency
• Congestive heart failure
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
