Our Services

ECG

An electrocardiogram is one of the simplest  tests used to evaluate the heart.

Electrodes  are placed at certain spots on the chest, arms, and legs. The electrodes are connected to an ECG machine by lead wires.

ECHO

An echocardiogram, is a scan used to look at the heart and nearby blood vessels.

It’s a type of ultrasound scan, which means a small probe is used to send out high-frequency sound waves that create echoes when they bounce off different parts of the body.

Doppler

Doppler ultrasound is a noninvasive test that can be used to measure the blood flow through our blood vessels. It works by bouncing high-frequency sound waves off red blood cells that are circulating in the bloodstream. A regular ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images.

TMT

The TMT, or treadmill test, serves as an evaluation of cardiac health and a diagnostic tool for certain heart conditions.

This procedure involves walking or running on a treadmill while the patient’s heart rhythms and breathing are continually monitored.

HOLTER

A Holter monitor is a type of portable electrocardiogram (ECG). It records the electrical activity of the heart over 24 hours or longer while you are away from your healthcare provider’s office. A standard or resting ECG is one of the simplest and fastest tests used to check the heart.

ANGIOGRAPHY

Angiography is a type of X-ray used to check blood vessels. Blood vessels do not show clearly on a normal X-ray, so a special dye called a contrast agent needs to be injected into your blood first. This highlights your blood vessels, allowing your doctor to see any problems.

ANGIOPLASTY

Angioplasty is a procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries caused by coronary artery disease. It restores blood flow to the heart muscle without open-heart surgery. Angioplasty can be done in an emergency setting, such as a heart attack.

PACEMAKER

A pacemaker is a small device used to treat some arrhythmias. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm. Pacemakers send electrical pulses to help your heart beat at a normal rate and rhythm.

ICD/CRT

There are two types of CRT devices. One is a special kind of pacemaker. It’s called a cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P) or “biventricular pacemaker.” The other is the same device, but it also includes a built-in implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
