Heart problems can surface in a number of ways — from minor
warning signs during your annual physical to severe chest pains when
you least expect it. Experienced physicians know how to look for those
clues, how to use advanced medical technology to get all of the facts,
and when and how a treatment program should begin.
At Jefferson Regional Medical Center, our Cardiac Diagnostics program
features medical experts who are skilled at using state-of-the-art
equipment to uncover a potential heart problem or accurately diagnose
a crisis condition. Our new Heart Institute is
designed to provide both emergency and maintenance diagnostic
patients, and our Emergency
Department is home to equipment and physicians who specialize in
urgent cardiac diagnostics.
We can provide the following diagnostic services in our new, high-tech
facility.
- Blood work, including the latest in cardiac markers
- Cardiac catheterization
- Cardiac Magnetic Resonant Imaging (MRI)
- Cardiac stress testing
- Echocardiography, including two-dimensional echo, color Doppler, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and stress echo
