When at all possible, our doctors will utilize non-invasive diagnostic procedures to assess the strength and health of your heart. These diagnostic tests provide high-quality data, but do not require an operation or incision. They are much less stressful and require little or no recovery time. The highly trained staff of the Heart Center are certified and experienced in dealing with every condition. The following are performed in our Non-Invasive testing department with a correlating study; mapping or reflux. The starred ones * are done in Radiology.
