Diagnosis & Testing
Cardiovascular imaging has come a long way since the days of the stethoscope and the simple electrocardiogram. Thanks to amazing technological developments in imaging and testing, physicians can diagnose and treat their patients with more confidence than ever before. Advanced imaging techniques can display 3-dimensional pictures within the arteries and even provide clues to future cardiovascular events.
Imaging technologies continue to provide more detail and more comprehensive information, ensuring that patients at risk are identified and treated as early as possible. Our testing ranges from simple stress tests and EKGs to carotid ultrasounds and computerized tomography.
