Types of Heart Care Tests Offered
Echocardiography (Adults Only)
An echocardiogram is a diagnostic test that uses ultrasound waves to create an image of your heart. This test can show the size, shape, and movement of your heart’s valves and chambers along with blood flow through the heart. Echocardiography may show abnormalities such as poorly functioning heart valves or damage to the heart tissue from a past heart attack.
Transesophageal Echocardiography
A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is a diagnostic procedure in which an ultrasound transducer and endoscope are guided down the patient’s throat into the esophagus. Images of the heart are then produced using sound waves.
Cardiac Stress Test
A cardiac stress test helps physicians check the condition of your heart by assessing the flow of blood to the heart during physical activity.
Types of Heart Care Services Offered
Cardiac Catheterization
A cardiac catheterization, also known as a coronary angiogram, is a procedure that tests the functioning of your heart. During the procedure, a small catheter is inserted into the heart with the aid of a special X-ray machine. Intravenous contrast dye is then injected through the catheter and into your heart to visualize the valves, heart chambers, and coronary arteries.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Leaving the hospital after a cardiac event is just the first step in recovery. To help you begin and maintain a healthy lifestyle, the Cardiac Rehabilitation team tailors a program to meet the needs of each patient specifically.
When you participate in cardiac rehab, you can expect that:
-
- Following clearance from your physician, an individualized exercise and diet program is outlined and implemented.
-
- Exercise sessions last 1½ hours and meet three times a week for 8–12 weeks.
-
- Heart monitoring is used to detect any irregular beats or changes in heart activity during exercise.
Educational classes led by the Cardiac Rehabilitation team teach you and your family about:
-
- The heart
-
- Heart disease
-
- High-risk factors
-
- Ways to reduce your risk for further heart damage
Patients (and families, if needed) may also receive private counseling to assist with:
-
- Modifying smoking habits
-
- Coping with stress
-
- Diet and nutrition, including healthy meal preparation, grocery shopping, and dining out
