The Structural Heart Program at McLeod Regional Medical Center has achieved the American College of Cardiology’s Transcatheter Valve Certification — the second program in South Carolina to attain this prestigious recognition. 

This designation recognizes the expertise and commitment in treating patients receiving transcatheter valve repair and replacement. Hospitals that achieve Transcatheter Valve Certification are equipped with best practices to ensure high quality patient care.

One of the most common transcatheter procedures is TAVR, a procedure for patients with aortic stenosis who are feeling symptoms of fatigue and shortness of breath particularly with exertion. Patients experiencing any of these symptoms should inform their primary care provider or request an evaluation with McLeod Cardiology Associates.
