Treatments & Conditions
Angiography
Diagnostic cardiac catheterization services are offered. A small catheter is placed under S-ray and positioned near the coronary arteries. The cardiologist can then take a series of images that assist in diagnosing interruptions in blood flow to the heart muscle. In addition, these diagnostic studies also assist the cardiologist in diagnosing problems the heart may have in general function and pumping ability.
Angioplasty
A non-surgical procedure during which the doctor guides a thin, balloon-tipped catheter through the artery to the blockage. The balloon is inflated to decrease the blockage and is then removed, improving blood flow to the heart muscle.
Cardiac rehabilitation
Patients receive medically supervised and monitored exercise sessions and lifestyle education to ensure that they continue on the path of recovery.
Cardiac catheterization lab
Where tests are done to detect problems with the heart and its blood supply. The cath lab is equipped wit the latest, most advanced digital imaging equipment, which provides superior image resolution in acquisition, processing display, storage and analysis.
Cardiac stress testing
The recording of the heart's electrical activity and blood pressure while under physical stress. This is also known as an exercise tolerance test.
Primary stroke center
Hospitals must meet 26 criteria to obtain this certification from the American Stroke Association. These criteria range from an acute stroke team and stroke units to rapid lab testing and 24-hour interpretation of computerized CT scans.
