Contact Us  |  Employment         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 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         home      |      physicians      |      medical services      |      hospital affiliations     |      news & events      |      useful links   © Copyright 2008.
