Advanced Cardiac Diagnostic Services
Modern technology allows early detection of heart disease before serious complications occur.
Our diagnostic services may include:
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An ECG records the electrical activity of your heart to detect rhythm abnormalities, previous heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.
Echocardiography
An ultrasound examination that evaluates:
- Heart valves
- Heart chambers
- Blood flow
- Cardiac muscle function
- Ejection fraction
Holter Monitoring
Continuous ECG monitoring over 24 to 48 hours to identify intermittent arrhythmias that may not appear during a routine examination.
Blood Pressure Monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring helps diagnose hypertension and assess treatment effectiveness.
Exercise Stress Testing
Stress testing evaluates how your heart performs during physical activity and helps detect coronary artery disease.
Conditions We Treat
Our cardiologists manage a wide variety of cardiovascular conditions, including:
Coronary Artery Disease
Narrowing of the coronary arteries can reduce blood flow to the heart muscle, increasing the risk of heart attack.
Symptoms include:
- Chest pain
- Chest pressure
- Pain radiating to the arm or jaw
- Shortness of breath
Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Hypertension is often called the “silent killer” because it may not produce symptoms until complications develop.
Proper blood pressure management reduces the risk of:
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Kidney disease
- Heart failure
Heart Failure
Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood efficiently.
Treatment focuses on:
- Medication management
- Lifestyle modification
- Regular monitoring
- Improving quality of life
Cardiac Arrhythmias
Irregular heart rhythms can cause:
- Palpitations
- Dizziness
- Fainting
- Fatigue
Early diagnosis allows effective treatment and reduces potential complications.
Preventive Cardiology
Many cardiovascular diseases can be prevented through early screening and healthy lifestyle choices.
Our preventive cardiology services include:
- Cardiovascular risk assessment
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Cholesterol evaluation
- Diabetes screening
- Weight management
- Smoking cessation counseling
- Nutrition advice
- Exercise recommendations
Preventive care is one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk of future heart disease.
