Conditions we regularly diagnose and address include:
- Acute chest pain
- Heart arrhythmia
- Heart failure
- Vascular disease
Our patients have access to diagnostic tools including:
- Advanced cardiac imaging
- Echocardiograms (an ultrasound test to assess the function of heart muscles and valves)
- Electrophysiology (EP) studies (to investigate abnormal heart rhythms)
- Electrocardiograms (EKGs; to assess the electrical activity of the heart)
- Holter monitors (worn to record heart rhythms over time)
- Nuclear stress testing (a test which uses a small amount of radioactive dye to observe how blood travels through the heart at rest and during activity)
- Treadmill stress testing (also called an exercise stress test; used to observe how the heart functions during exercise)
Our providers regularly complete these and other cardiac procedures:
- Cardiac catheterization and stenting (placement of a catheter or stent into the heart either to diagnose a concern or to improve blood flow)
- Pacemaker placement (to regulate or improve heart rhythm)
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement (placement of a device that detects and corrects abnormal heart rhythms)
