The Department of Cardiology provides professional services to patients
needing evaluation, treatment, and management of cardiovascular
diseases.
Special Services:
The Cardiology Department provides a full range of specialized
medical services in all aspects of cardiovascular diseases. This
department provides clinical evaluation of patients' symptoms and
a physical examination in the office. Additional testing, when indicated,
includes tests such as treadmill and pharmacological stress testing
to evaluate the heart's response to exercise, monitoring to assess
cardiac rhythms, echocardiography to study blood flow and heart
valves, and cardiac catherization to record imaging of heart function,
coronary arteries, pressure measurements, and cardiac output measurements.
Coronary angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting, all methods for
relieving obstructions in coronary arteries, are also provided through
this department. Evaluation and treatment for peripheral arterial
problems (outside the heart) are available as well.
This department also provides implantation of pacemakers, follow-up
services for pacemaker patients, for implanted defibrillator patients,
and monitoring of rehabilitation activities for cardiac surgical
patients.
