Behnam Tehrani, MD Co-Director, Cardiogenic Shock Program, IHVI Co-Director, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus Alexander Truesdell, MD Co-Director, Cardiogenic Shock Program Cardiogenic shock has long been associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. It was not until the landmark SHOCK trial in 1999 that survival increased from 20 percent to 50 percent through early revascularization. Since then, however, no further improvements in short-term outcomes have been realized.

Clinical Trial Inova Heart and Vascular Institute Explores Implant's Potential to Replace Anticoagulants in AFib Stroke Prevention Physicians at IHVI are investigating alternative solutions for AFib-related stroke prevention that reduce side effects and treatment-related costs, led by IHVI interventional cardiologist Matthew W. Sherwood, MD, MHS, Director of the IHVI LAAC/ WATCHMAN Program. Dr. Sherwood also serves as Co-Director of both the Structural Heart Program and the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories at IFMC.

Inova's Innovative Multidisciplinary Approach to AFib Care Managing AFib and the underlying conditions that cause it is complex, with the best outcomes being achieved for patients by combining the expertise of specialists from several different medical disciplines. To further improve care for patients, Inova’s AFib Center was created and follows the multidisciplinary "center of excellence" model recently published by the Heart Rhythm Society.

Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare condition of high blood pressure in the lungs’ arteries caused by blood clots that narrow and limit the blood flow to the lungs. It causes shortness of breath and may be a consequence of acute pulmonary emboli, but it can also present without prior diagnosis of pulmonary emboli. Radiographic images show a 75-year-old man with lifestyle limiting CTEPH who underwent balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA). Left A8 segment is shown pre- and post-BPA procedure.

Four Northern Virginia Locations for Comprehensive Wound Treatment Chronic nonhealing wounds – those that do not progress through the healing stages in a predictable and timely manner – can cause serious problems such as chronic pain, loss of function, decreased mobility, and increased isolation and stress. Today, about 6.5 million Americans are suffering with chronic nonhealing wounds, and this number is projected to increase as the United States population gets older.

An Outpatient Alternative for Patients with Heart Failure Historically, patients with heart failure have not had an option for same or next day outpatient assessment and intravenous (IV) diuretics without using the Emergency Department or being admitted to the hospital.

World-Class Care Inova Heart and Vascular Institute (IHVI) is one of the region's most experienced heart centers. We consistently exceed national benchmarks for top performance in the treatment of heart attacks, emergency cardiac interventions, cardiac surgery, and across a broad range of highly specialized, innovative cardiovascular techniques. Our distinction is not limited to outstanding performance on clinical measures but also in how we outperform national benchmarks for patient satisfaction.
