Our services

Novant Health Cardiology – Greensboro brings remarkable heart care close to where you live. Our providers are dedicated to understanding your current heart health, and then developing a comprehensive plan to improve or maintain it. Whether you are suffering from a chronic condition such as heart disease or a more acute problem such as a blocked artery, your care team will look for the best ways to address and remedy your concern.

Any care plan starts with getting an accurate diagnosis. In our clinic, you have access to advanced diagnostic tools, including:

  • Electrocardiogram (EKG; a test using electrodes to measure the electrical signals that control the rhythm of the heart)
  • Transesophageal echocardiogram (a test using sound wave to evaluate heart function through the esophagus; available at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center and Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center)
  • Lipid/cholesterol assessment (a test to measure cholesterol and lipids in the blood to detect a disorder or see if a medication is working; available at Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center)
  • Ankle brachial index (a test to measure blood pressure at the ankle and the arm; available at Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center)
  • Abdominal aorta ultrasound (a test to examine the abdominal aorta and associated blood vessels; available at Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center)
  • Aneurysm evaluation (a test using ultrasounds, X-rays or CT scans to examine weaknesses in artery walls; available at Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center)

Preventive interventions can help you avoid future heart or vein troubles. Our providers complete interventions including:

  • Cardiac catheterization (a procedure involving the insertion of a thin tube into an artery in an arm or leg; this can be used to detect or address blockages)
  • Balloon angioplasty/ percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PCTA) (a procedure in which a balloon tool is used to push artery-clogging plaque against artery walls to make more room for blood flow)
  • CT coronary angiogram (an imaging test to assess the arteries that carry blood to the heart; available at Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center)
