SERVICES & PROCEDURES

General Cardiology

General cardiology services include preventive cardiology, diagnostic, and treatment services.

Invasive Cardiology

We perform the following invasive procedures:

• Angioplasty- an intervention for the treatment of coronary artery disease.
• Valvuloplasty - the dilation of narrowed cardiac valves (usually mitral, aortic, or pulmonary).
• Congenital heart defect correction - an alternative to open heart surgery, percutaneous valve replacement is the replacement of a heart valve using percutaneous methods.
• Coronary thrombectomy – the removal of a thrombus (blood clot) from the coronary arteries.
• Cardiac ablation- A technique performed by clinical electrophysiologists, cardiac ablation is used in the treatment of arrhythmias.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

More commonly known as coronary angioplasty or simply angioplasty, is one therapeutic procedure used to treat the narrowed coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary heart disease.

Nuclear Cardiology

Echocardiography

Often referred to in the medical community as a cardiac ECHO or simply an ECHO, is a sonogram of the heart. It is also known as a cardiac ultrasound, it uses standard ultrasound techniques to image two-dimensional slices of the heart.

Stress Testing

Stress testing is a form of testing that is used to determine the stability of a given system or entity. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results.

Pacemaker/Defibrillator Implantation

A pacemaker is a medical device which uses electrical impulses, delivered by electrodes contacting the heart muscles, to regulate the beating of the heart. The primary purpose of a pacemaker is to maintain an adequate heart rate, either because the heart's native pacemaker is not fast enough, or there is a block in the heart's electrical conduction system.

Congestive Heart Failure

Heart failure is generally defined as inability of the heart to supply sufficient blood flow to meet the body's needs.
