Our Comprehensive Cardiology Services

Our expert team offers a full spectrum of cardiovascular services, from routine check-ups and risk assessments to advanced interventional procedures and ongoing rehabilitation.

1. Advanced Diagnostic Services

Accurate diagnosis is the first step to effective treatment. We utilize the latest imaging and monitoring technologies to get a precise picture of your heart's health.

• Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG): Measures electrical activity of the heart.
• Echocardiography:
  • Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE): Non-invasive ultrasound of the heart.
  • Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE): Detailed ultrasound via a probe in the esophagus.
• Cardiac Stress Testing:
  • Treadmill Stress Test
  • Pharmacologic (Drug-induced) Stress Test
  • Stress Echocardiogram
• Holter & Event Monitoring: Continuous recording of heart rhythm for 24 hours to several weeks.
• Cardiac CT Angiography (CCTA): Detailed imaging of coronary arteries.
• Cardiac MRI: Comprehensive imaging of heart structure and function.
• Coronary Angiography: Invasive imaging to visualize blockages in coronary arteries.
• Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring: Measures blood pressure at regular intervals over 24 hours.

2. Interventional Cardiology

Our interventional cardiologists specialize in minimally invasive procedures to treat various heart conditions, often avoiding traditional open-heart surgery.

• Coronary Angioplasty and Stenting: Opens blocked or narrowed arteries using a balloon and places a stent to keep it open.
• Atherectomy: Removes plaque from arteries.
• Percutaneous Transluminal Valvuloplasty: Widens narrowed heart valves.
• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR): Minimally invasive replacement of the aortic valve. (If offered)
• Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (e.g., Watchman Procedure): Reduces stroke risk in certain atrial fibrillation patients. (If offered)

3. Electrophysiology Services

Specialized care for heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias).

• Electrophysiology (EP) Study: Diagnoses the cause of arrhythmias.
• Catheter Ablation: Corrects abnormal heart rhythms.
• Pacemaker Implantation and Management: For slow heart rhythms.
• Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation and Management: For dangerously fast heart rhythms.
• Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT): For heart failure patients with specific electrical conduction problems.

4. Heart Failure Management

Comprehensive programs to manage and improve the lives of patients living with heart failure.

• Advanced medical therapies and optimization.
• Lifestyle modification guidance.
• Device therapy management (e.g., CRT-D).
• Patient education and support programs.

5. Preventive Cardiology & Wellness Programs

Focus on identifying and managing cardiovascular risk factors to prevent heart disease.

• Risk factor assessment (e.g., cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes).
