Cardiovascular Services
Screenings and advanced diagnostic tests provide important insights about heart and blood vessels. Our Cardiovascular Services Department is equiped with the following:
- Digital Ultrasound Systems: Capabilities include echocardiograms for the diagnosis of many different heart conditions.
- Vascular Ultrasound Systems: Utilizes high-frequency sound waves to diagnose arterial and venous disease.
- Electrocardiograms (EKG's): Records the eletrical activity of the heart and diagnoses irregular heart rates, skipped/abnormal beats, etc.
- Electroencephalograms (EEG's): A technique used to diagnose abnormalties in the electrical activity of the brain.
- Stress Tests: A treadmill and monitoring equipment are used to determine the level of fitness. Along with Nuclear Imaging, this can pinpoint blockages in the coronary arteries.
- Holter Monitoring: A small, portable device that provies continuous 24 or 48 hour monitoring to confirm rhythm patterns of the heart.
- Event Monitoring: A small, portable device which can be worn for up to 30 days and provides patient-activated, symptom-correlated, monitoring to confirm rhythm patterns of the heart.
