Noninvasive Cardiovascular Diagnostics

Over 11,000 noninvasive vascular procedures are performed at Morristown Memorial each year.

These are some of the state-of-the-art procedures our expert diagnostic teams perform:

• Computerized Electrocardiograms (ECG) – A simple test that records the electrical activity of the heart muscle from 12 different positions. It is also called an EKG.
  
  
• Holter Monitoring – Also known as ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG), this is a continuous, 24-hour recording of the heart’s electrical activity. It detects abnormal heart rhythms that may occur during normal activities of daily living.
  
  
• Ambulatory Blood Pressure (BP) Monitoring – An automatic, lightweight, and quiet arm cuff provides multiple blood pressure readings over an extended length of time, usually 24 hours.
  
  
• Signal Averaged Electrocardiograms (SAECG) – This variation of a standard electrocardiogram assesses a patient’s risk of experiencing a life-threatening type of rapid heartbeat.
