Biventricular Pacemaker
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is used to treat the delay in heart ventricle contractions that occur in some people with advanced heart failure.
What Are Peripheral Vascular Services?
Peripheral vascular services are non-invasive examinations of arteries and veins using ultrasound or Doppler. Tests include carotid duplex, venous duplex and arterial Doppler.
Electrophysiology / Arrhythmias
Permanent pacemakers are placed for bradyarrhythmias (slow heart rates). Sometimes the pacemaker completely controls the heart rhythm, at other times it only serves as a backup for slow rates.
What is Carotid Ultrasound Imaging?
Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Ultrasound exams do not use ionizing radiation (as used in x-rays).
Echocardiograms
An echocardiogram is a noninvasive, painless, test that uses ultrasound (high frequency sound waves) to produce a two dimensional image of the heart.
Cath / PTCA / Stent
Cardiac catheterization, also known as a coronary angiogram, is an invasive diagnostic procedure that assesses the heart's arteries, valves, and contractility (squeezing strength of the heart muscle) as well as the pressures generated within the heart and lungs.
P.E.T. Imaging
P.E.T. (Positron Emission Tomography) is one of the newest, most advanced methods for physicians to study the heart. Cardiology Physicians is the first in this region to offer this state-of-the-art technology.
Nuclear Stress Tests
There are four types of Nuclear Stress Tests: Exercise Cardiolite Stress Test, Adenosine Cardiolite Stress Test, Dobutamine Cardiolite Stress Test and Lexiscan Cardiolite Stress Test.
