The Heart Failure Center

James A. Sandberg,  MD, Medical Director

Catherine E. York, RN, MSN, CRNP

 

The Heart Failure Center was established in 1998 to treat patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). The Center has grown to a registry of nearly 1,000 patients.

At The Heart Failure Center, a team of physicians and nurse practitioners work with a special patient population. These patients require careful monitoring to ensure medical stability and to maintain a high quality of life. Our nurse practitioners adjust and optimize medication, recommend medical testing, and monitor patient progress.

At the Center, we provide disease management, the opportunity to participate in research studies, support groups, and patient and family education.

Often times, CHF patients need device therapy —I CDs and biventricular ICDs. Both types of devices are used in patients to help minimize the risk of a sudden cardiac event. Patients of The Heart Failure Center who are candidates for cardiac devices are referred to our qualified electrophysiology team.
