Diagnostic Testing

Echocardiograms use sound waves to create detailed images of the heart's structure and function. This non-invasive test helps evaluate heart valves, heart muscle, blood flow, and detects any abnormalities.

Nuclear stress testing involves the administration of a small amount of radioactive substance to evaluate blood flow to the heart muscle. It helps identify areas with reduced blood flow, assess the severity of coronary artery disease, and determine the effectiveness of treatment.

The abdominal aortic ultrasound  focuses on evaluating the abdominal aorta, the large blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the lower body. This test uses ultrasound technology to assess the size, shape, and condition of the vessel, helping to detect abnormalities such as aneurysms, blockages, or narrowing.

External Counterpulsation (ECP) therapy is a non-invasive treatment option for patients with angina or coronary artery disease (CAD) who may not be suitable candidates for invasive procedures. During ECP therapy, inflatable cuffs are placed around the patient's calves, thighs, and hips, which inflate and deflate in sync with the heartbeat. This process enhances blood flow to the heart and improves circulation, relieving symptoms of angina and promoting cardiovascular health.

Carotid Doppler is a painless ultrasound test that examines the carotid arteries in the neck. It assesses the blood flow to the brain, detects narrowing or blockages, and identifies the risk of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Renal arterial ultrasounds are specialized imaging tests that focus on evaluating the blood flow to the kidneys. This non-invasive procedure utilizes ultrasound technology to assess the renal arteries and detect any narrowing or blockages that may be compromising blood flow to the kidneys. It aids in diagnosing conditions such as renal artery stenosis and helps guide appropriate treatment strategies to preserve kidney function.

Exercise stress testing, also known as treadmill stress testing, evaluates how the heart performs during physical exertion. It involves walking on a treadmill while monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes to assess cardiovascular fitness and detect any abnormalities.

Peripheral vascular imaging utilizes ultrasound to evaluate blood vessels outside the heart, such as the arteries and veins in the arms and legs. It helps diagnose conditions like peripheral artery disease (PAD) and venous insufficiency.
