Our cardiac services
Our heart doctors use advanced technology to diagnose and treat various heart conditions.
Heart screening and imaging
We offer a variety of diagnostic services to assess your heart condition. Our team is able to perform:
- Cardiac catheterization
- Echocardiograms (ECGs)
- Electrocardiograms (EKGs)
- Peripheral vascular angiography
- Renal angiography
- Stress testing
Our cardiac catheterization lab is equipped with a specialized imaging system that allows doctors to see the blood vessels of the heart. During catheterization, X-ray dye is inserted into the coronary arteries to detect any blockages.
Heart attack care
Most of the damage sustained from a heart attack occurs within the first two hours. If it's recognized during this time period, we have a much greater chance of decreasing the damage to your heart muscle and improving your overall treatment and recovery.
