About

Cardiology at Baptist Health System Our cardiologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of routine and serious cardiac issues. Treatment plans may include cardiac rehab (to strengthen the heart), exercise, heart-healthy eating, minimizing stress, or medication. We offer a variety of services at our facilities including: Diagnostic Services We offer a range of diagnostic tests including Echocardiology, Stress tests, EKG, Chest x-ray, Ultrasound, and angiography. Remote Monitoring Holter monitoring available to assist physicians in recording abnormal beats of the heart that may occur outside the hospital while the patient is at work, exercising, or resting. The recording captures every beat of the patient's heart for 24 hours allowing the physician the ability to match symptoms with the actual heart rhythm at the time of the discomfort or event. Event Monitoring available which allows the patient to wear a monitor for up to 30 days and at the "press" of a button, record the electrical activity of their heart when irregular beats or discomfort is felt. Screenings Your cardiologist may recommend a series of tests of screenings to help measure heart health. Tests may include cholesterol, genetic / metabolic testing, urine analysis. Interventional Cardiology These specialists are trained in minimally invasive treatments that reverse, heal or stop heart disease progression.
