An echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart.
Exercise stress test
An exercise stress test is a screening tool to test the effect of exercise on your heart. It provides an overall look at the health of your heart.
Holter/Event monitoring
This type of monitor will record your heart rhythm during your everyday activities. For this test, you will wear a portable EKG machine. You will have the monitor for 24 or 48 hours.
Nuclear Cardiology (heart function test)
Nuclear cardiology tests can determine if areas of the heart muscle are receiving good or poor blood supply.
Pacemaker and ICD follow-up program
If a pacemaker or ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) helps to regulate your heartbeat, we can help you make sure your cardiac device is working properly. Our experts can evaluate your cardiac device and adjust settings so that you benefit the most.
