Cardiac Testing

To keep pace with the need for interventional cardiac care, Health Central has invested in an additional cardiac catheterization lab to provide faster diagnosis and a higher level of patient care. Now, cardiac patients can be diagnosed and treated without having to leave Health Central. When there’s an emergency on a heart calling for ballooning or stinting of coronary vessels, we’ve got you covered. The cardiac Cath may be performed following positive signs for coronary artery disease and physician recommendation.
