Cardiology is the practice of medicine that involves the heart and the entire vascular system. Non-invasive cardiology involves the diagnosing of cardiovascular disease with tests as simple as a routine EKG to more complicated testing, including echocardiograms, nuclear stress tests, vascular ultrasound to mention a few. Rhythm evaluation from the diagnosis to treatment can occur in the office. Angiograms may be done of any vessel in the body by our ultrafast CT scanner.
Prevention and monitoring of vascular disease by regulation of medications, to cardiac rehabilitation are routine.
Invasive and Interventional cardiology both diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease with a variety of angioplasty and stenting procedures, the coronary arteries most commonly but also carotid and renal arteries and vessels in your legs, arms and abdomen when needed.
Other procedures include:
Pacemaker Implantation
Generator exchange for end-of-life batteries
Laser lead extraction and replacement
Watchman device for the treatment of atrial fibrillation
Carotid stenting
Thrombectomy for life-threatening Pulmonary Embolus
