Your Heart Can't Keep Secrets From Us

Heart Center Diagnostics

At the OMHS Heart Center, we offer the latest diagnostic technology and techniques to determine if your heart is working the way it should.
Cardiac scoring is the use of a variety of screening exams to calculate a patient's risk of heart disease.
Diagnostic telemetry is a system that keeps a patient's radiologist in contact with the OMHS Heart Center at all times.
Echocardiography (EKG) records the electrical voltage in the heart in the form of a continuous strip graph allowing the screening and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Our EKG machines are outfitted with specialized software to allow for gender-specific interpretations.
Electrophysiology (EP) studies detect abnormal heart tissue that causes arrhythmia (irregular heart rate). Therapies include temporary and permanent pacemaker placement and automatic defibrillator implementation.
Holter monitoring is a method used to detect abnormal heart rhythms during a 24-hour period.
Nuclear cardiac imaging (flow study) is a method used to evaluate how well blood flows to the heart muscle.
Patient-activated event recorder is a device a patient wears for one to four weeks to record symptoms.
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a special type of imaging test that uses high frequency sound waves to monitor heart function.
Treadmill stress testing is used to assess the performance of a patient's cardiovascular system.

Respiratory Diagnostics

Cardiopulmonary stress testing is a comprehensive study of oxygen consumption capabilities of the lungs, a specialized evaluation of the patient's physiologic response to exercise.
Pulmonary function tests are designed to measure how well the lungs are working. Arterial blood gas testing reflects lung function by measuring the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxidein the blood.
