Cardiac Diagnosis and Treatment
At Morristown-Hamblen, we’re on a mission to provide residents of East Tennessee with the comprehensive, cutting edge cardiac services you need and deserve. Our range of cardiac tests can be used to detect the presence of heart disease. In addition, our cardiologists use the latest innovations in cardiac care, including: graded exercise stress tests, myocardial perfusion imaging, and CT angiography. We use these cutting-edge cardiac tests to assess the best heart care treatments and procedures for each individual cardiac patient we treat.
Cardiac Imaging and Diagnostics
Involves non-invasive and invasive techniques to assess the structure, function and health of the heart and surrounding blood vessels. These tests help detect conditions like coronary artery disease, valve disorders and arrhythmias, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Common examples include:
- Echocardiograms
- Cardiac MRI
- Coronary Angiograms
- Nuclear Stress Tests
- Cardiac CT Scans
- Arterial/Venous ultrasound
- Coronary Calcium Scan
Electrophysiology
Focuses on diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) by studying the heart’s electrical activity. Electrophysiology procedures help pinpoint irregular electrical signals in the heart and restore normal rhythm through interventions. Common examples include:
- Electrocardiograms (ECG/EKG)
- Arrhythmia Evaluation
- Tilt Table Testing
- Holter Monitoring
- Event Monitoring/Recording
Interventional Cardiology
Involves minimally invasive procedures using catheters to diagnose and treat heart and blood vessel conditions without open heart surgery. These techniques are often used to restore blood flow, repair structural issues or treat valve disorders. Common examples include:
- Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting
- Interventional Cardiac Stenting
- MitraClip Procedures
- Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
- Pericardiocentesis
Vascular Diagnostics and Interventions
Involve tests and treatments to evaluate and address diseases affecting blood vessels, including arteries, veins and lymphatics. These techniques help diagnose conditions like blockages, aneurysms or varicose veins and restore healthy circulation. Common examples include:
- Abdominal imaging (aorta/iliac, AAA stent graft assessment, mesenteric arterial duplex, renal arterial duplex)
- Vascular Ultrasound (Duplex or Doppler Studies)
- Venous duplex
- Color doppler
- Doppler ultrasound
