A Cardiac MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique used to create detailed pictures of the heart and blood vessels. It helps doctors evaluate the heart’s structure, function, and blood flow. During the procedure, a contrast dye may be injected into a vein to enhance the images and provide more detailed information about the heart's condition. In some cases, medications may also be given to help improve the heart's ability to be seen on the MRI, especially if certain areas are difficult to assess. The test is safe, painless, and typically takes 30-60 minutes to complete.

The number one killer in the United States, cardiovascular disease affects the heart and blood vessels. Our experts can identify, treat and help you manage cardiac conditions.

This type of monitor will record your heart rhythm during your everyday activities. For this test, you will wear a portable EKG machine. You will have the monitor for 24 or 48 hours.

Nuclear cardiology tests can determine if areas of the heart muscle are receiving good or poor blood supply.

If a pacemaker or ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) helps to regulate your heartbeat, we can help you make sure your cardiac device is working properly. Our experts can evaluate your cardiac device and adjust settings so that you benefit the most.

A peripheral vascular exam measures blood pressure and blood flow using sound waves created by a device called a doppler. You will have a test done while you rest and while you exercise on a treadmill. This test helps tell if there are blockages in the leg arteries. This test takes about 30 minutes when looking at leg veins, and 45 minutes or longer when looking at the leg arteries.
