The Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Center specializes in these conditions:

• Ischemic cardiomyopathy:
  a term uses to describe patients who have congestive heart failure due to coronary artery disease.
• Dilated cardiomyopathy:
  a condition in which the heart becomes weakened, enlarged, and unable to pump blood efficiently. The decreased heart function can affect lungs, liver, and other body systems.
• Diastolic dysfunction:
  when the heart muscle contracts normally, but experiences impaired relaxation. This affects the heart's lower pumping chambers (the ventricles) specifically. Because the ventricle doesn't relax normally, the pressure increases and pumps an abnormally high level of blood on the next heartbeat.
• Valvular Heart Disease:
  the name given to any dysfunction or abnormality of one or more of the heart's four valves, including the mitral valve and aortic valve on the left side; and the tricuspid valve and pulmonic valve on the right side.
• Right-sided heart failure:
  also called congestive heart failure; a condition in which the right side of the heart loses its ability to pump blood efficiently.
• Secondary pulmonary hypertension:
  high blood pressure resulting from cardiac disorders, pulmonary disorders, or both in combination.
• Congenital heart disease (adult patients):
  congenital heart disease refers to a problem with the heart's structure and function due to abnormal heart development before birth.
