* TREADMILL
EXERCISE TEST - A type of stress test
that is conducted on a treadmill using various
walking protocols. Depending on the patient, your
cardiologist may opt to select a more sophisticated
test by using heart images for obtaining more
information about your heart.
* NUCLEAR CARDIOLOGY
- Our state-of-the-art Nuclear Laboratory performs
several types of cardiovascular diagnostic tests.
With the use of hi-tech computers, we can analyze
relative blood flow and global function of the
heart muscle. Nuclear cardiac tests may be used
in conjunction with treadmill or pharmacologic
stress tests.
* Microvolt T-Wav Alternans
- Sudden cardiac death claims the lives of over 300,000 people annually in the U.S. Most people who suffer a cardiac arrest episode have an underlying, pre-identifiable, electrical disorder that puts them at risk. Microvolt T-Wave Alternans testing identifies people at risk for sudden cardiac death. |
