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.

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 Call913-632-9418.
