Non-Invasive Cardiac Diagnostic Testing
In order to develop a more accurate treatment plan, we often use diagnostic procedures to determine the cardiac condition of our patients. Our in-office cardiac diagnostic center provides the full range of diagnostic tests, which can be conveniently and rapidly done in our office. These diagnostic tests may include:
- Cardiac CT (hospital only)
- Cardiac MRI (hospital only)
- Echocardiography
- Electrocardiography
- Holter monitoring/event monitoring
- Nuclear cardiology
- Peripheral vascular testing
- Stress echo
- Treadmill stress testing
Upon completion of the necessary diagnostic testing, our physicians will then work with the referring physician to determine the best possible course of treatment. Often we can help our patients develop a diet and exercise routine that will prevent potential cardiac problems in the future.
