Specialized Care for Your Whole Health

At the AdventHealth Shawnee Mission Cardiovascular Institute, we focus on leading-edge screenings and clinical research as well as state-of-the-art treatments and minimally invasive procedures. Explore a few of our subspecialties below.

Open-Heart and Cardiothoracic Surgery

Our skilled team performs valve repairs and replacements, coronary artery bypass and other lifesaving procedures.

Electrophysiology and Radiofrequency Ablation

We treat heart rhythm disorders, like AFib, with the most effective and least invasive techniques possible.

Complex PCI

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through cardiac catheterization allows us to quickly improve blood flow to your heart.

Heart Failure and CardioMEMS Program

We can help you manage and minimize the effects of heart failure so you can live life to the fullest.

Advanced Imaging and Preventive Care

At the first symptom — or even before — we’ll work to avoid the development of conditions that can impact your long-term wellness.

Structural Heart Program

We specialize in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD) repair, and left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedures.

Women's Heart Health

Women have distinctive heart health needs. Cardiovascular disease often looks different in women than men, so knowing you have a dedicated cardiologist who understands your unique needs is essential.

The experts at our women's heart center at our AdventHealth Shawnee Mission campus and our multiple Kansas City clinics understand how to recognize and treat cardiac conditions in female patients, resulting in better outcomes.

Women’s Cardiac Care for a Lifetime

Your heart is an essential part of your life, and we want to maximize care for you and your heart through all of life’s stages. Whether you’re facing issues as diverse as syncope or palpitations as a young woman, cardiac symptoms during pregnancy (which could be normal or signs of a struggling heart) or later in life during menopause and beyond, we’re here to care for you wholeheartedly.

Find Answers Earlier at Our Structural Heart Clinic

If you’re having symptoms like dizziness, syncope (passing out), chest pain or fatigue, you could benefit from an evaluation in our Structural Heart Clinic. Our board-certified cardiothoracic surgeons and interventional cardiologists evaluate and treat structural heart diseases like:

  • Aortic valve stenosis: the aortic valve opening becomes narrowed, reducing blood flow (can be treated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR)
  • Patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defect: both are holes between the upper chambers of the heart, each with different causes
  • Left atrial appendage occlusion: clots may form in the left atrial appendage (a small appendage on the heart) in patients experiencing atrial fibrillation (AFib) and can lead to a stroke

For a personalized evaluation and to discuss your treatment options at our Structural Heart Clinic, please contact our structural heart coordinator at 913-632-9418.

Caring for You Is at the
Heart of What We Do

One night, after a family dinner, Nichole began to experience chest pain that she wrote off as bad heartburn. But the pain increased and persisted, and she went to the AdventHealth Emergency Room, where doctors confirmed she'd had a heart attack. Her life changed that night, but Nichole feels stronger than ever after receiving help from the AdventHealth cardiology team.
