A stent is a small mesh tube typically used to hold open passages in the body, such as weak or narrowed arteries.
Nuclear cardiology studies use noninvasive techniques to assess myocardial blood flow, evaluate the pumping function of the heart as well as visualize the size and location of a heart attack.
An echocardiogram checks how your heart’s chambers and valves are pumping blood through your heart.
An electrophysiology (EP) study is a test performed to assess your heart’s electrical system or activity and is used to diagnose abnormal heartbeats or arrhythmia.
Stress tests show how well your heart handles physical activity. Your heart pumps harder and faster when you exercise.
A Holter monitor is a small, wearable device that records the heart’s rhythm. It’s used to detect or determine the risk of irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias).
A CT scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce images of the inside of the body
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease in the United States. It is sometimes called coronary heart disease or ischemic heart disease.
Aortic stenosis is a type of heart valve disease. The valve between the lower left heart chamber and the body’s main artery (aorta) is narrowed and doesn’t open fully which reduces or blocks blood flow from the heart to the aorta and to the rest of the body.
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a blood circulation disorder that causes the blood vessels outside of your heart and brain to narrow, block, or spasm.
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure in which a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is guided through a blood vessel to the heart to diagnose or treat certain heart conditions, such as clogged arteries or irregular heartbeats.
