Cardiac Evaluation
Vascular Evaluation
Myocardial Perfusion Scan (Nuclear Stress Test)
Cardiovascular History & Physicals
A cardiovascular history and examination are fundamental to accurate diagnosis and the subsequent delivery of appropriate care for an individual patient. Time spent on a thorough history and examination is rarely wasted and goes beyond the gathering of basic clinical information as it is also an opportunity to put the patient at ease and build confidence in the physician’s ability to provide a holistic approach to their care.
Electrocardiogram
An electrocardiogram records the electrical signals in your heart. It's a common test used to detect heart problems and monitor the heart's status in many situations
Carotid Duplex Sonography
A carotid duplex ultrasound is performed to evaluate symptoms including dizziness, loss of memory, stroke, loss of musclecontrol and other symptoms that might result from narrowing or blockage of the vessels (carotid arteries) on either side of your neck
Abdominal Aortic Sonography
An abdominal ultrasound is performed to evaluate abdominal structures, including the abdominal aorta. It may be used to check for a number of conditions.
Peripheral Arterial Duplex Sonography
Ultrasound duplex scanning can provide additional information that may guide therapeutic decisions. The location and severity of arterial narrowings and occlusions can be identified. The vascular technologist can map disease in lower-extremity segments with great accuracy
Lower Extremity Venous Sonography
This type of ultrasound shows if there is a blockage in a leg vein. Such blockages are usually caused by blood clots, which can be dangerous and even life threatening if they break loose and travel through the blood to the lungs. If you have pain or swelling in one leg, your doctor may order an ultrasound to determine whether your symptoms are caused by a blockage
Stress Test
Stress testing provides information about how your heart works during physical stress. Some heart problems are easier to diagnose when your heart is working hard and beating fast. During stress testing, you exercise (walk or run on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bike) to make your heart work hard and beat fast. Tests are done on your heart while you exercise.
Abdominal Aortic Sonography
A pharmacological Cardiac MRI stress test is a diagnostic test. It is used to check the blood flow to the heart. An exercise stress test is another way to check the blood flow, but if you cannot exercise or if your heart rate does not go up enough with exercise, this test may be done instead. The test can help determine if your heart is getting enough blood while you are active compared to when you are resting.
Regadenosine Aortic Sonography
Regadenoson is a stress agent that works by increasing blood flow in the arteries of the heart. Regadenoson is given in preparation for a radiologic examination of blood flow through the heart to test for coronary artery disease. Regadenoson may also be used for purposes not listed in
Exercise Treadmill Test
A stress test, sometimes called a treadmill test or exercise test, helps a doctor find out how well your heart handles work. As your body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen, so the heart must pump more blood. The test can show if the blood supply is reduced in the arteries that supply the heart. It also helps doctors know the kind and level of exercise appropriate for a patient.
Holter Monitor
A Holter monitor test is usually performed after a traditional test to check your heart rhythm, especially if the electrocardiogram doesn't give your doctor enough information about your heart's condition.
Ankle Brachial Indices
The ankle brachial index, or ABI, is a simple test that compares the blood pressure in the upper and lower limbs. Health care providers calculate ABI by dividing the blood pressure in an artery of the ankle by the blood pressure in an artery of the arm.
Echocardiograms
An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce images of your heart. This test allows your doctor to see your heart beating and pumping blood. Your doctor can use the images from an echocardiogram to identify heart disease
