Services

• 

  Echocardiography

  Ultrasound waves are used to examine the functionality of the heart and diagnose heart diseases and disorders.

• 

  Stress Echocardiography

  A procedure measuring heartbeat and blood pressure while exercising to determine the health of the heart and blood vessels.

• 

  Nuclear Stress Testing

  Radioactive tracers are used to image the heart at rest and after a stress test. The images are used to diagnose heart disease.

• 

  Carotid Ultrasound

  Imaging test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the inside of the carotid arteries and identify complications.

• 

  Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound

  An imaging test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the aorta and evaluate the abdominal structures.

• 

  Exercise Treadmill

  An exercise test on the treadmill is a way to test the effect of exercise on your heart and your ability to breathe.

• 

  Holter Monitor and Event Recording

  A small battery-operated device that is used to record the heart’s activity for those who have irregular cardiac symptoms.

• 

  Pacemaker/Defibrillator Management

  Your doctor will determine if demand pacing or rate-responsive pacing is a better fit for your specific needs.

• 

  Vascular Ultrasound

  Ultrasound test that examines blood vessel circulation in the body to identify blood clots and artery blockage.

• 

  Ankle-Brachial Index Testing

  This is the ratio of the blood pressure at the ankle to the blood pressure in the upper arm (brachium).

• 

  Diagnostic Cardiac Catheterization

  The process of introducing catheters into veins or arteries, then into either the left or right side of the heart.

• 

  Interventional Services

  This is a branch of cardiology that focuses on catheter-based treatment of structural heart diseases, including angioplasty and stent.

• 

  Electrophysiology Services

  A specialty branch of physiology concerned with the study, diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders.

• 

  Ablation

  A procedure used to scar or destroy a small area of tissue in the heart that is causing abnormal rhythm.

• 

  Pacemaker Implantation

  A generator is placed on the left side of the chest, attached to a wire guided through a blood vessel to the heart.

• 

  ICD-Defibrillator Implantation

  This is a pager-sized device placed into the heart ventricles to help your heart keep beating effectively.

• 

  Biventricular Pacemaker Implantation

  The lead tip of this specialized pacemaker is implanted and attached to the heart, helping heart failure patients.

• 

  Pacemaker Lead Extraction

  Lead extraction through the femoral or subclavian vein.

• 

  Emergency Inpatient Coverage

  Admission to the hospital with a doctor’s order based on need of emergent, time-sensitive services.

• 

  Atrial Fibrillation

  Quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to complications like stroke, blood clots, heart failure and other heart-related problems.

• 

  Laser Lead Extraction

  Special catheter-guided lasers help free the lead from the surrounding scar tissue.
