Healing the heart. With heart.

Some of the realities of heart disease can feel overwhelming. In fact, it is the leading cause of death in the U.S. However, there is some good news: 80% of heart disease and stroke is preventable. That’s why the experts at Dignity Health Heart and Vascular Institute of Greater Sacramento want you to be informed, educated and proactive about your heart health. Caring for more hearts locally than any other health system, Dignity Health is renowned for providing advanced treatment options, comprehensive rehabilitation, and world-class research. Make your heart health a priority and learn about blood pressure, arrhythmias like Atrial Fibrillation or AFib, and preventive measures you can take to care for your heart and thus care for your whole body.

Keeping your heart in rhythm

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is a heart condition that causes an irregular heartbeat. It affects more than 6 million people in the U.S. and that number continues to grow. The experts at Dignity Health want you to understand the risk factors, recognize the symptoms and know your treatment options.

Dr. Karanjit Singh, an interventional cardiologist at Dignity Health, believes that being an effective doctor means practicing what you preach. In running half marathons and eating a plant-based diet, Dr. Singh supports his patients in big ways.

Prioritizing Heart Health in Women

In addressing the gap in care between men and women, Dignity Health has opened the Women's Heart Program to reflect the need for enhanced care. More U.S. women die from heart disease than any other cause, and Dignity Health puts them at the center of cardiac care.
