We welcome you to our practice and appreciate the opportunity to participate in and improve your health care. Our goal is to provide you with state-of-the-art cardiovascular care in an informative, friendly and caring environment, supported by cutting-edge technology.
A Nuclear Stress Test is used to detect the presence of coronary artery disease. This test is similar to a routine exercise stress test except it provides pictures called nuclear imaging of your heart in addition to EKG tracings.
An echocardiogram (also called an echo) is a type of ultrasound test that uses high-pitched sound waves that are sent through a device called a transducer. The device picks up echoes of the sound waves as they bounce off the different parts of your heart.
The Holter monitor is a device that records the heart rhythm continuously for 24 hours. This means that it records each and every heart beat over that time period. Sticky patches (electrodes) on the chest are connected to wires from the Holter monitor.
The head-up tilt table test is a way to find the cause of fainting spells. You lie on a bed and you're tilted at different angles (from 30 to 60 degrees) while machines monitor your blood pressure, electrical impulses in your heart, and oxygen level. It's done in a special room called the EP (electrophysiology) lab.
Vascular studies are tests that check the blood flow in your arteries and veins. These tests are noninvasive. This means they don’t use any needles. Vascular studies use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to measure the amount of blood flow in your blood vessels.
A heart test that tracks the electrical activity of your heart and records it on a moving paper or shows it as a moving line on a screen. An ECG scan is used to analyze the heart’s rhythm and detect irregularities and other cardiac issues that might lead to serious health problems such as a stroke or heart attack.
A stress echocardiography, also called an echocardiography stress test or stress echo, is a procedure that determines how well your heart and blood vessels are working. During a stress echocardiography, you'll exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike while your doctor monitors your blood pressure and heart rhythm.
Expertise in treating patients who have complex or difficult-to-treat hypertension and its co-morbidities. The Program – focused on enhancing hypertension patient care – is designed to evaluate each medical practice against a professional set of criteria based upon responses to a questionnaire and a rigorous review process by hypertension experts.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), also known as cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing, is a non-invasive tool that provides a comprehensive evaluation of exercise responses involving the cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematopoietic, neuropsychological, and musculoskeletal systems.
