Our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced team ensure accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. Here are the testing services we provide:

Diagnostic Testing:

  • Utilizing sound waves to create detailed images of your heart's structure and function, aiding in the diagnosis of various cardiac conditions.

  • Comprehensive evaluation of your heart's response to physical exertion, including various modalities such as:

    • Cardiac PET/CT:  Combining PET and CT imaging to assess blood flow and detect coronary artery disease.

    • Nuclear Stress Test:  Imaging test to evaluate blood flow to the heart during stress, helping diagnose coronary artery disease.

    • Stress Echocardiogram:  Echocardiogram performed before and after exercise or medication to assess heart function and blood flow.

    • Treadmill Stress Test:  Exercise test performed on a treadmill to evaluate heart function and detect abnormalities.

  • Non-invasive imaging technique to assess blood flow and detect blockages or abnormalities in the veins and arteries.

  • Continuous recording of your heart's electrical activity over a 24-48 hour period, helping diagnose irregular heart rhythms.

  • Continuous remote monitoring of your heart's rhythm over an extended period, providing real-time data for diagnosis of arrhythmias.

Interventional Procedures:

  • Imaging tests to visualize the blood vessels of the heart and extremities, helping diagnose blockages or narrowing.

  • Minimally invasive procedures to open blocked or narrowed arteries in the heart or peripheral vessels, restoring blood flow.

  • Innovative treatment for aortic valve disease, replacing the valve through a catheter, avoiding open-heart surgery.

  • Closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) or patent foramen ovale (PFO) using minimally invasive techniques to prevent stroke or other complications.

  • Implantation of a device to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation who are unable to take blood thinners.

  •  Procedure to treat atrial fibrillation by destroying or isolating the abnormal heart tissue causing the arrhythmia.
