Cardiovascular consultations
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.
Coronary CT angiography
This new tool uses a special type of CT scanner to get a three-dimensional view of your blood vessels. This allows doctors to see whether plaque has built up in the artery wall that may cause a future heart attack or symptoms.
Echocardiogram (heart ultrasound)
An echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart.
Exercise stress test
An exercise stress test is a screening tool to test the effect of exercise on your heart. It provides an overall look at the health of your heart.
Holter/Event monitoring
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.
Pacemaker and ICD follow-up program
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.
Peripheral arterial evaluation
This non-invasive test helps the physician determine if the arteries in the legs or arms are blocked or narrowed. When there is blockage or narrowing of the leg or arm arteries you may have pain, coldness, numbness or non-healing ulcers in the affected limb. The test uses ultrasound and blood pressure cuffs to record the blood pressure at different levels in the limb.
Peripheral vascular imaging
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.
Peripheral venous evaluation
This non-invasive test utilizes ultrasound imaging to evaluate blood flow and detect possible blockages in the veins of the legs or arms. It is most often used to make sure that no blood clots are present in the veins.
Stress echocardiogram
Stress echocardiography is a test that uses ultrasound imaging to determine how the heart muscles respond to stress. It is mainly used to diagnose and evaluate coronary artery disease.
