OFFICE BASED

CARDIAC DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES

We offer a full range of diagnostic office based tests to diagnose and follow various cardiac conditions. EKG- this is a simple test that records the electrical activity of the heart.

HOLTER

24 hour rhythm monitoring.

EVENT MONITOR

30 day monitoring of heart rhythm. Used to diagnose problems that occur erratically and infrequently.

ECHO

This test is the ultrasound of the heart. It is done using an ultrasound probe and is painless and non-invasive. It is used to check heart muscle function, evaluate heart valves and measure pressures in the heart and the arteries of the lung. For further info.

STRESS TESTING

This is a global term used to identify tests that evaluate the response of the heart to physiologic and pharmacologic (medicine generated) stress. They include plain exercise treadmill test and nuclear (using diagnostic radioisotopes) exercise and adenosine (pharmacologic) tests.

PACEMAKER AND DEFIBRILLATOR EVALUATION

Testing done to evaluate the status of these devices. Also can reprogram these devices to tailor and fit the needs of individual patients. We have a device clinic that manages patients with all major types of devices: Medtronic, St. Jude, Boston Scientific and Biotronik.

VASCULAR DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES PULSE VOLUME RECORDING(PVR)

Non-invasive diagnostic test using large blood pressure cuffs at multiple levels to evaluate the waveform and pressure of arteries.

ARTERIAL DOPPLER ULTRASOUND

Testing with an ultrasound used to diagnose abdominal aneurysms, blockage in arteries of neck And extremities (arms and legs)

VENOUS DOPPLER ULTRASOUND

Testing with a ultrasound used to diagnose blood clots in the veins and insufficiency in the venous circulation.

HOSPITAL BASED

24 HR AMBULATORY BP MONITORING

Test used to diagnose patients blood pressure over a 24 hour period to help with diagnosis and evaluate efficacy of therapy

TRANSESOPAHGEAL ECHO (TEE)

Specialized echo with probe in the tip of an endoscope device. Used to evaluate clots in the heart, infection of heart valves etc.

TILT TABLE TESTING

This test is used to evaluate causes of passing out(syncope). It involves a patient to be secured on a table which is then made vertical from a horizontal position. The patients vital signs and symptoms are then followed and recorded.

CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION

Is an invasive test which is used to evaluate the arteries of the heart, pressures in the heart and in the arteries of the heart and lungs. Further details in FAQs.

CORONARY INTERVENTIONS

Is an invasive procedure used to open blockages in the arteries of the heart. Further details in FAQs.

VASCULAR INTERVENTIONS

Is a novel method used to treat arteries of the arms, legs, kidneys and neck (carotid) using minimally invasive techniques with balloons, stents and plaque cutting devices.

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIC STUDY AND ABLATION

Invasive testing used to evaluate the electrical circuit of the heart using catheters. Ablation is used to treat arrhythmias using special catheters. Arrhythmias treated via ablation: Atrial fibrillation, Supraventricular tachycardia, Atrial flutter, Atrial tachycardia, Ventricular tachycardia

PACEMAKER AND DEFIBRILLATOR IMPLANTATION

Devices that are used to correct the rhythm of the heart (pacemakers) and used to shock and treat arrhythmias (defibrillators).

WATCHMAN IMPLANTATION

Invasive procedure to implant a umbrella shaped structure called watchman to reduce risk for stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation who cannot tolerate blood thinners.

LOOP RECORDER IMPLANTATION

Implantation of prolonged implantable event monitor under the skin to monitor heart rates and arrhythmias.
