A congenital heart defect is a malformation of the heart or major blood vessels that is present at birth. Because both repaired and unrepaired congenital heart defects frequently lead to

lives.

Heart failure does not mean your heart has stopped working. You can have heart failure without ever suffering from a heart attack. Having heart failure simply means that your
heart does not work as well as it should. There are ways you and your health care provider can help your heart work more efficiently. Getting acquainted with how the heart works may help you
understand how heart failure occurs and what you can do about it.
Through our Heart Rhythm Center, we are leaders both in the Metroplex and nationally in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders. We diagnose and treat heart rhythm
disorders, including atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, and ventricular tachycardia. We offer a wide range of treatment options, including pacemakers, implantable defibrillators,
