Genesis has a state-of-the-art vein center where interventional cardiologists take a comprehensive approach to vein care. Varicose veins left untreated could enlarge with symptoms becoming more severe. Additional health problems could result such as pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
We treat a variety of conditions for patients including:
In addition to consultations, using minimally invasive procedures, our interventional cardiologists provide advanced treatment for painful, restless and swollen legs related to venous disease and varicose veins, including:
Our interventional cardiologists also provide two different types of advanced therapy for the cosmetic treatment of varicose veins. Non-thermal ablation vein therapy is an injectable foam medicine used to treat varicose veins. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) treatment heats, collapses and seals off blood vessels to stop the progression of venous disease and clear up unsightly veins in the legs.
Symptoms of varicose vein disease are common. About half of adults have varicose veins and they become more prevalent with age. Although varicose veins can occur elsewhere, they are commonly found in the legs. Signs and symptoms of varicose veins include:
Our board-certified interventional cardiologists have years of experience and extensive training in performing interventional procedures, and our quality outcomes for interventional cardiology exceed national averages.
Genesis Healthcare System was the first in the State of Ohio to receive Chest Pain Center accreditation with PCI from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC) because we closely follow the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association’s recommendations for heart attack care.
Interventional cardiology utilizes minimally invasive tests and procedures to diagnosis and treat heart conditions. We treat a variety of symptoms and conditions for patients including:
Genesis is an accredited Chest Pain Center with PCI which ensures faster treatment during the critical early stages of a heart attack. Below you'll find additional treatments, procedures and diagnostic screenings provided by the cardiology team at Genesis:
Patients experiencing palpitations, fluttering or racing heartbeats may benefit from Genesis Electrophysiology services. Arrhythmias can sometimes occur in a healthy heart and be of minimal consequence, but they can sometimes indicate a serious problem that can lead to heart disease, stroke or sudden death. Cardiac electrophysiology is the diagnosis and treatment of those abnormal heart rate and rhythms.
The most common type of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) and is the result of the top portion or atria of the heart beating out of rhythm. An electrophysiology (EP) study is used to diagnosis the type and severity of arrhythmias.
We treat a variety of conditions for patients including:
Arrhythmias
Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)
Bradycardia
Long QT syndrome
Sudden cardiac arrest
Supraventricular tachycardia
Tachycardia
Ventricular fibrillation
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome
Treatment can involve many different therapies from medications, to devices to control your heart beat, to catheter based procedures called ablations. Genesis treatments, procedures and device implantations include:
Biventricular devices
Cardiac device monitoring
Catheter ablation for Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)
Catheter ablation for fast heart rate (Tachycardia)
Defibrillators
Device implants
Electrical cardioversion for fast heart rate (Fibrillation)
Electrical cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)
Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD)
Laboratory tests
Medication adjustments
Pacemaker for Bradycardia (slow heartbeat)
Our Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Clinic provides care and education for patients. Nurse Practitioners specializing in the management of congestive heart failure help patients better understand their condition and how to manage their health. Our clinic’s outpatient setting provides convenient and easy access to cardiology services to help minimize the need to be admitted to the hospital.

Led by fellowship-trained physicians recognized in their field of expertise, the structural heart program at Genesis has assembled a team of physicians that provide the best possible heart care for patients throughout Southeastern Ohio. Our team has years of training and experience with leading-edge procedures and advanced technologies, including teaching more than 45 new structural heart programs throughout the country.
Structural heart disease may be present at birth, or it can develop later in life. We use life-changing treatments to repair damaged heart valves, walls, muscle or tissue. Addressing structural heart issues can reduce symptoms such as weakness and shortness of breath, which not only can improve your quality of life, but also help prolong it.
We treat a variety of conditions for patients including:
Aortic stenosis
Aortic stenosis is the stiffening or narrowing of the aortic valve. Calcium build up is the most common cause. Aortic stenosis usually affects elderly patients with other medical risk factors which makes them better candidates for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR).
Heart valve disease
Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO)
PFO occurs when patients are diagnosed with an opening, or hole, in the heart that did not close after birth. This birth defect can cause problems later in life, including stroke, and affect the control of blood flow between heart chambers.
Genesis is the only hospital in the region performing innovative and minimally-invasive procedures for cardiac care. These new technologies and techniques allow our highly-skilled physicians to care for your heart while reducing downtime, scarring and pain after a procedure:
Impella® heart pump
The Impella® Percutaneous Hemodynamic Support Device is used in patients with heart failure and high-risk patients undergoing Percutaneous Intervention (PCI) stenting. Impella pumps blood from the left ventricle of the heart during a procedure to allow it to recover and rest.
Lead extractions
MitraClip™
MitraClip is a minimally invasive procedure that can reduce the risk of heart failure and stroke for patients with mitral valve regurgitation. Our physicians use a tube to insert the MitraClip implant through a vein in your upper leg and guide it to your heart, where it is attached to your mitral valve to help it close properly and restore normal blood flow.
Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) closure
PFO, the procedure to close a hole in the heart, not detected at birth, takes a much different route than in the past when open-heart surgery was required to correct the opening. Our physicians use a catheter to enter blood vessels to reach the heart. Once there, the catheter guides a device called an occluder to the opening, allowing it to expand and close the hole.
Robotic-assisted cardiac heart surgery
The robotic-assisted, minimally-invasive heart procedures being performed at Genesis include Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) and cardiac tissue ablation. During a robotic-assisted CABG, the physician is able to make smaller incisions that expose only damaged arteries rather than the entire heart like traditional open-heart surgery.
Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR)
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
TAVR uses advanced imaging and small catheters to replace diseased heart valves. Instead of a large incision to the chest, physicians performing TAVR use a flexible tube to guide a new valve through a blood vessel to the heart. TAVR is minimally invasive, meaning patients have less pain and experience faster recovery times – usually needing just an overnight stay in the hospital.
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (MVR)
When patients experience cardiac related symptoms or conditions, general cardiology is typically one of the first specialties consulted for diagnosis and treatment. Offering inpatient and outpatient services, our physicians can provide management of both acute and chronic cardiac conditions.
Using clinical assessment, screenings and diagnostic exams, the cardiologists identify the specific cardiovascular disease and work with the patient and their families to develop the best individual comprehensive treatment options.
The general cardiologists at Genesis HealthCare System are available to help you protect your heart and blood vessels. We treat a variety of symptoms and conditions for patients including:
Our board certified cardiologists stay up-to-date on the latest treatment options and screenings for cardiovascular disease. Screenings help medical professionals determine your risk for heart and vascular conditions before you experience symptoms.
In addition to consultations, below is a partial listing of diagnostic and screening services provided by the cardiology team at Genesis:
If a screening reveals an abnormality, or you’re experiencing symptoms of a heart problem, diagnostic procedures like these can help your cardiologist determine a diagnosis. If you need to see a specialist, we have a team of cardiothoracic surgeons, electrophysiologists, interventional cardiologists available to provide specialized patient care.
