Our Cardiovascular Association team provides a
broad spectrum of diagnostic tests, comprehensive therapies and
interventional procedures. Nonsurgical procedures can be conducted
at our locations on a quickly scheduled, outpatient basis.
- Anticoagulant therapy
Medicine to help prevent blood clotting and stroke
- Antiplatelet therapy
Medication prescribed for patients who have a greater risk
of blood clots
- Calcium Scoring
A non-invasive test for determining the extent of calcium deposits in the coronary arteries.
- Cardiac catheterization
Diagnose coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease
- Coronary angiography
X-ray determines if arteries are clogged, where and by how
much
- Coronary angioplasty and stenting
Opens clogged artery and maintains blood flow
- Defibrillator Implantation
Device that delivers electric shock to the heart to avoid sudden
cardiac death. In some cases, it also strengthens a very weak
heart.
- Pacemaker implantation
Prevents the heart from slowing to dangerously low levels
- ECG
Records resting heart rhythm to detect arrhythmias (skipped
heart beats)
- Electrical cardioversion
Procedure to convert abnormal heart
rhythm back to normal
- Electrophysiological studies
Tests that map the electrical conduction system
of the heart
- Nuclear perfusion studies
Scans heart to determine blood flow to the heart muscle
- Peripheral angiography
Shows clogged peripheral arteries and likely
need for stenting
- Radio frequency ablation
A nonsurgical procedure to treat rapid heart rhythm
- Stress testing
Evaluates potential blockages and blood
flow to the heart
- Transthoracic echocardiography
Sound waves evaluate heart muscle for abnormalities
- Transesophageal echocardiography
Sound waves to obtain moving pictures of the heart to diagnose
heart diseases by inserting a probe into the esophagus
