Heart Failure Program

Anticoagulation Clinic

Anticoagulation therapy involves the use of medications, sometimes called “blood thinners,” to prevent blood clots. If you are taking warfarin (Coumadin®) to prevent blood clots, our Anticoagulation Clinic will help you safely, effectively and conveniently manage your medication.

At our clinic, specially trained pharmacists will work with you to ensure that your medication dosage is safe and effective. Our pharmacists provide a range of services, including:

  • Supervising your anticoagulation treatment
  • Monitoring side effects
  • Educating you about warfarin treatment
  • Screening and counseling for possible interactions with food or other medications
  • Reviewing your treatment plan to prevent problems that may occur during a procedure, such as dental work or surgery
  • Reviewing and updating your medication list
  • Refilling your prescriptions as needed
  • Answering any questions you or your caregivers may have about your anticoagulation therapy

Pacemaker Implementation and Monitoring

A pacemaker is a small electronic device that is implanted under the skin in your chest to help regulate arrhythmias, or abnormal heartbeats. Our cardiologists and nurses provide routine pacemaker, defibrillator and internal loop recorder monitoring services. We maintain close contact with electrophysiologists from our partners at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and UVM Medical Center to ensure that your device is functioning properly.

Coordinated Care

If you need cardiac surgery or specialized procedures, Rutland Heart Center cardiologists will be with you every step of the way. Our cardiologists partner with cardiovascular specialists at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and The University of Vermont Medical Center to make your care flow as smoothly as possible.

After your procedure is complete, Rutland Heart Center will provide follow-up care so you can complete your recovery close to home. Our cardiac rehabilitation program also provides customized exercise and education to help you fully recover.
