Our Services
We offer a broad array of heart-related services, all delivered with compassion and exceptional expertise:

Cardiac Catheterization
Cardiac catheterization helps doctors evaluate how well the heart is functioning and whether there are blocked arteries. During the procedure, a cardiologist inserts a very thin flexible tube into a major vein and navigates it to the arteries around the heart. Using advanced imaging technology, the doctors can see whether there is plaque build-up in the heart’s vessels. Since cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure, most patients can go home the same day.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that can produce clear, detailed views of the human heart and help doctors detect heart disease with pinpoint accuracy. Our advanced diagnostic testing capabilities include:
- 64-slice CT Scanner
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
- Nuclear Medicine Camera
- Echocardiography
- Stress Testing
- EKG
Treatment for Arrhythmia
We provide a variety of services for patients with irregular heartbeats, including implantation and management of pacemakers.
