Procedures & Testing
- Peripheral Vascular Studies
Peripheral vascular studies use ultrasound to check for forms of vascular disease including carotid artery disease, peripheral artery disease, blood clots, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and venous insufficiency.
- EKG (Electrocardiography)
An Electrocardiography (EKG) is a quick, simple, and painless procedure in which the heart’s electrical impulses are amplified and recorded. This record is called and electrocardiogram.
- Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart. Echocardiography uses standard two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and Doppler ultrasound to create images of the heart.
- Stress Echo Testing
A echo stress test or stress echo, is a procedure that determines how well your heart and blood vessels are working.
- Nuclear/PET Scan
Nuclear/PET scans and testing uses safe, radioactive tracers to provide detailed images of your body’s cellular activity, aiding in early disease detection and treatment planning.
- Holter & Event Monitoring
An event monitor and a Holter monitor are similar in that they are used to remotely record heart irregularities to aid in the diagnosis of cardiac conditions by measuring the heart’s electrical activity.
- Pace Maker & ICD Clinics
A pacemaker is a small device that’s placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms. This device uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate.
- Implantable Cardiac Monitors (ICM)
Implantable cardiac monitors (ICM) are small electrophysiology (EP) devices that are used for long-term monitoring of a patient’s heart that detects electrical abnormalities to measure arrhythmia activity. (This is a 5 minute office based procedure).
- ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index)
The ankle-brachial index test is a quick, noninvasive way to check for peripheral artery disease (PAD). The disease occurs when narrowed arteries reduce the blood flow to your limbs.
