Intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS) at cardiac catheterization laboratory room.

Our vascular imaging services

We offer state-of-the-art diagnostic tests, including:

Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring

Uses an automatic, lightweight and quiet arm cuff to provide multiple blood pressure readings over an extended length of time, usually 24 hours.

Cardiac impedance monitoring (BioZ)

A noninvasive test that provides information about the heart’s ability to deliver blood to the rest of the body, the force the heart has to pump against with each heartbeat, and the amount of fluid in the chest.

Computed tomography (CT)

Detects atherosclerosis with detailed images.

Computerized electrocardiograms (ECG or EKG)

Records the electrical activity of the heart muscle from 12 different positions.

Event monitoring (transtelephonic)

An event recorder monitors the heart’s activity. The recorder is activated when a symptom occurs. Electrocardiogram data before, during and after the event is transmitted to a receiving center via telephone.

High-speed beam tomography (EBT)

Scans spot calcium blockages in the arteries in seconds.

Holter monitoring (ambulatory electrocardiogram or ECG)

Provides a continuous, 24-hour recording of the heart’s electrical activity to detect abnormal heart rhythms that may occur during normal activities of daily living.

Signal averaged electrocardiograms (SAECG)

A variation of a standard electrocardiogram, assesses a patient’s risk of experiencing a life-threatening type of rapid heartbeat.

Vascular and neurovascular MRI

Produces clear pictures of blood vessels in the head, aorta, and legs using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography.

Our vascular imaging services can help detect atherosclerosis, the narrowing of an artery or arteries, which affects the entire circulatory system.

A block anywhere along the vascular system can lead to serious health problems like heart attack, carotid artery disease, peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, aneurysm, high blood pressure, stroke, severe leg pain or kidney failure. Problems in one area of the system can indicate a more serious condition elsewhere in the body.

Heart care services may vary by location. Please confirm when booking an appointment.
