Our heart and vascular services
Our heart doctors use advanced technology to diagnose heart conditions, working with you to create a treatment plan that meets your needs.
Heart screening and imaging
We offer heart screening and imaging services to diagnose cardiovascular diseases. Some of these services include:
- Cardiac catheterization (cath)
- Echocardiography
- Electrocardiography
- Stress testing
Echocardiograms
Echocardiograms are ultrasounds of the heart. These noninvasive diagnostic exams allow our cardiologists to assess your heart's functionality.
Electrocardiogram (EKG) monitoring
EKGs involve monitoring your heart's rhythm for 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive medical procedure allows our doctors to detect conditions that may require treatments such as pacemaker implantation or medication.
Cardiac cath
Our cardiac cath laboratory is equipped with specialized imaging systems, which allow excellent visualization of the blood vessels of the heart.
Cardiac cath involves injecting a contrast dye your coronary artery and using X-ray imaging to detect any blockages. This minimally invasive technique is also used in peripheral vascular and renal angiograms.
Treadmill stress tests
Treadmill stress tests are noninvasive diagnostic exams. During the exam, the cardiac team will monitor your heart while you walk on a treadmill. This allows us to detect any potential cardiac conditions.
Heart attack treatment
We have been recognized as an Accredited Chest Pain Center by the American College of Cardiology for our dedication to advanced heart attack care. Our cardiac and emergency teams are available 24/7 to provide compassionate, lifesaving treatment.
