Expert Vascular Care for a Healthier Heart: Obstacles. You come up against them every day. Whether it’s a slow train between you and your first meeting of the day or an overly chatty neighbor, the result is the same: Your progress is impeded. It’s the same with your vascular system, the labyrinth of blood vessels designed to transport blood and oxygen to and from your heart. An unwell network of arteries, veins, and capillaries is full of obstacles, all of which put up roadblocks to your blood flow. Keeping this system clear and healthy is an important part of stroke and heart attack prevention. At AdventHealth Dade City, we treat a variety of vascular diseases, including:

Aneurysm

Atherosclerosis

Blood Clots

Buerger’s Disease

Deep Vein Thrombosis

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

Pulmonary Embolism

Whatever your vascular health, trust our compassionate experts to do everything in their power to keep your heart healthy now and in the years to come.
