Cardiology Consultation
This is a thorough evaluation with a cardiologist starting with a complete history and physical examination to determine your risk for cardiovascular disease in the present and for the future. Time will be taken to review any pertinent records available and possibly do further diagnostic testing to evaluate for the presence of cardiac conditions.
Cardiac Clearance
If you have a previous history of cardiac disease or are over 50 years old, many times your surgeon will require that your heart be evaluated prior to surgery.
Echocardiogram (Echo)
Echocardiography is a technique that uses sound waves to create images of the heart. These images allow physicians to assess the valves of the heart, as well as the size and function of the chambers. This test is performed by moving a transducer across the chest to produce images of the chambers and valves within the heart.
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
During an electrocardiogram, electrodes are placed on your upper body to obtain an “electrical image” of the heart. This routine non-invasive test evaluates the heart rhythm, determines whether the electrical system of the heart is functioning properly, and whether parts of the heart might be enlarged or damaged. This test generally takes less than 5 minutes.
Event Monitor (holter monitor)
Event Monitoring is a painless way to record your heartbeat away from the doctor’s office. An event monitor is a small limited electrocardiogram (ECG) that you wear or carry with you to record irregular heartbeats, which are reviewed by your doctor at a later time.
Pacemaker and Defibrillator Interrogations
We oversee and manage your pacemaker/defibrillator with routine Interrogations done in our office or at home. These are reviewed by a physician and treatment is tailored based on the results. The Interrogations consists of placing a magnet over the pacemaker site to obtain stored information about your heart rates and rhythm. These data can also be transmitted remotely and wirelessly from home on appropriate patients.
Preventive Cardiology
There is a consistent emphasis on lifestyle modifications to delay or prevent the progression of hypertension, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathy.
Stress Test
Internal Medicine
This exercise treadmill test is a non-imaging procedure that involves exercise, electrocardiography (ECG), and blood pressure measurements to measure the effect of exercise on your heart.
