Cardiac Testing

We offer a range of in-office testing services including the following:

‍

Echocardiography

Echocardiography (Echo) is a test that uses high frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to make pictures of your heart. The test is also called echocardiogram or diagnostic cardiac ultrasound. The test is performed in our office to provide your doctor with a complete non-invasive evaluation of the heart, including valvular function and assessment of ventricular function.

‍

Echocardiography Stress Test

An Echo Stress Test determines how well your heart and blood vessels are working. You will exercise on a treadmill while we monitor your blood pressure and heart rhythm.

Nuclear Cardiology

A nuclear stress test measures blood flow to the heart muscle as well as damage from previous heart attack and a narrowed or blocked artery caused by other cardiac disease. A small amount of a radioactive tracer is injected into a vein. Our special cardio camera takes pictures and movies of the heart at rest and after exercise. When a patient is unable to exercise or walk on a treadmill, a medication will used to simulate exercise for the test. Individuals with multiple cardiac risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of coronary artery disease may benefit from a nuclear cardiology stress test.
