Diagnostic Cardiology
From echocardiograms to catheterizations, we use advanced tests to determine how your heart and blood vessels are working.
Being able to see the inner workings of your heart and blood vessels used to be the stuff of science fiction. Thanks to ever-evolving technology, we can do just that—allowing our heart specialists to determine a treatment plan that's best for you.
Our Approach to Diagnostic Cardiology
While a physical exam, discussion of your symptoms, and review of your medical history give our heart specialists a good idea about your condition, imaging tests play an important role in the diagnostic process.
Sophisticated tests, including echocardiograms, computer tomography (CT) scans, and miniature heart monitors, give cardiologists a detailed look at the functioning of your heart and blood vessels.
These tests allow our experts to determine how well your heart is pumping, if you have any narrowed or blocked arteries, the cause of irregular heart rhythms, and much more.
Together, you and your doctor will determine the most effective course of treatment to keep you—and your heart—going strong.
