If you wish to have your medical records transferred to us from another provider, hospital or physician, simply print, complete, then mail this form to our Appleton location and your records will be transferred to us.
Heart and Vascular Institute of Wisconsin serves Northeast Wisconsin with a location on the west side of Appleton. We’re off College Avenue, near the Fox River Mall and Appleton International Airport.
For the past 50 years, the doctors of Heart and Vascular Institute of Wisconsin have provided our patients with high quality, compassionate care.
As health care continues to evolve, we have made the decision to return to private practice so we may have more control over day-to-day operations and patient care decisions. We believe that serving you as an independent cardiology group, will bring you the best experience along with the highest quality care at a lower cost.
Effective April 1, 2019, we began treating patients in our new state-of-the-art facility. This is the new home of the same cardiologists that have been providing care to northeast Wisconsin since 1968. At the Heart and Vascular Institute of Wisconsin we are able to provide diagnostic testing, labs and common, in-office procedures. We will continue to serve our outlying communities in New London, Ripon, Shawano, and Waupaca. Your cardiologist will also continue to provide services if you are admitted to a ThedaCare hospital or Ascension St. Elizabeth. At each hospital you must specifically ask for a Heart and Vascular cardiologist.
Let us reassure you that you will continue to receive the same exceptional care you have come to expect from us. We are excited about the ways this move allows us to improve your overall health care experience. Doing what is best for our patients will always remain our highest priority.
National Valve Disease Awareness Day
February 22nd is #valvediseaseawarenessday!
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 25,000 deaths in the U.S. each year are due to heart valve disease from causes other than rheumatic disease. However, awareness of heart valve complications still remains alarmingly low in the general public. The most common heart valve issue involves your aortic valve but any of your 4 heart valves can create serious issues if they are not functioning properly.
The Structural Heart and Valve program at the Heart and Vascular Institute of Wisconsin has many years of experience in addressing heart valve disease and recently had milestones of our 300th Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure as well as doing 4 TAVRs in a single day!
Below is a photo of the HVI Structural Heart Team along with the great staff at Ascension St. Elizabeth Hospital after completing the 4th TAVR on February 10th.
Thank you for what you do!! Once you fix/celebrate that valve celebrate margarita day too!!

Is Your Energy Drink Dangerous To Your Heart?
Energy drinks in the United States have increased in popularity in recent years. In 2015, energy drink sales in the United States reached around 3.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2020. Energy drinks are one of the top selling packaged beverages in the United States.
According to Heart and Vascular Institute cardiologist Dr. Doug Mielke, "if you have kids or grandkids, you already know that kids and young adults guzzle beverages like Red Bull, Monster and many others as their main source of fluid intake. Aside from really high levels of caffeine and sugar, you need a chemical degree to understand everything on the ingredients label. These products can cause heart rhythm disturbances, increases in blood pressure, insomnia, dehydration and a bunch of other bad side effects. All in all, these are not healthy products to consume."
Energy drinks may damage the heart, researchers warn—should the FDA get involved?

Drinking certain energy drinks may cause significant damage to the heart, according to new findings published in Food and Chemical Toxicology.It's Best of The Valley voting time again and we need your help!

Today marks national Go Red For Women Day (aka Go Red Day) which calls attention to the impact of cardiovascular disease on women in the United States.
According to Heart and Vascular Institute cardiologist Dr. Carrie Chapman, "Heart disease is often thought to be more of a problem for men. However, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, about 1 in every 5 female deaths. Sadly, heart disease is known as a silent killer since it may not be diagnosed until you have significant symptoms or an emergency. Because some heart disease symptoms in women can differ from those in men, women often don't know what to look for.
Women are more likely than men to have heart attack symptoms unrelated to chest pain, such as:
Neck, jaw, shoulder, upper back or abdominal discomfort
Shortness of breath
Pain in one or both arms
Nausea or vomiting
Sweating
Lightheadedness or dizziness
Unusual fatigue
Indigestion
Because women don't always recognize their symptoms as those of a heart attack, they tend to show up in emergency rooms after heart damage has occurred. Also, because their symptoms often differ from men's, women might be diagnosed less often with heart disease than men are."

COVID Surpasses Heart Disease As America's #1 Killer In January
Much of the emphasis of Heart Month (February) is to bring attention to the dangers of cardiovascular disease as it has been the #1 killer of men and women in the U.S. for many years.
But January was the most deadly month so far for COVID and it actually surpassed heart disease as the leading cause of death.
Hopefully, COVID vaccines will dramatically reduce the risks of COVID but the chart below is a sobering reminder that we are still in the midst of a deadly pandemic.
COVID-19 Now Leading Cause of Death in the United States
www.kff.org
In January 2021, the number of deaths from COVID-19 increased so rapidly that it has clearly become the number one cause of death in the U.S., with an average of more than 3,000 people per day dyin…And the Republicans in our state just voted to eliminate the mask mandate. Beyond absurd! 🤬
