Electrocardiogram & Echocardiograms
Our most essential diagnostic tools for evaluating heart function. An electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) records your heart's electrical activity in minutes, while an echocardiogram uses ultrasound to create detailed images of your heart's chambers, valves, and pumping action.
Together, these two tests provide an unmatched view of cardiac health — detecting arrhythmias, structural abnormalities, valve problems, and signs of past heart attacks long before symptoms become emergencies.
- Painless, non-invasive procedures completed in under 30 minutes
- Interpreted by board-certified cardiology professionals
- Results explained in clear, actionable language
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)
The Ankle-Brachial Index is a quick, non-invasive test that compares blood pressure in your ankles to blood pressure in your arms. It's the gold-standard screening tool for peripheral artery disease (PAD) — a condition that narrows arteries in the legs and signals elevated risk for heart attack and stroke.
PAD affects millions of adults, yet many have no idea they have it. An abnormal ABI result is one of the strongest predictors of future cardiovascular events — and the test takes just 15 minutes with nothing more than a blood pressure cuff.
- Fast, painless screening completed in about 15 minutes
- Strong predictor of heart attack, stroke, and PAD risk
- Recommended for adults over 50 or with diabetes/hypertension
Comprehensive Cardiovascular Testing
Our comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation brings together multiple diagnostic tools into one seamless visit. We measure your blood pressure trends, listen for heart murmurs and irregular rhythms, review your full cardiac history, and connect the dots that individual tests miss.
This whole-person assessment looks beyond a single number — evaluating how your heart, blood vessels, lifestyle, and genetic factors interact to shape your overall cardiovascular risk. You'll leave with a complete picture and a clear prevention plan.
- Full cardiovascular workup in a single appointment
- Identifies interconnected risk factors across systems
- Personalized report with step-by-step recommendations
Pharmacogenetic Testing
Pharmacogenetic testing analyzes your DNA to understand how your body metabolizes specific medications — including common cardiovascular drugs like statins, blood thinners, and beta-blockers. The same medication at the same dose can work wonders for one person and cause serious side effects in another because of genetic differences.
This personalized approach eliminates the trial-and-error that so many heart patients endure — helping your doctor prescribe the right medication at the right dose from day one, improving outcomes and reducing adverse reactions.
- Simple cheek swab or blood sample — no special preparation
- Guides precise medication selection and dosing
- Reduces risk of adverse drug reactions by up to 30%
Renal Doppler Ultrasound
A renal Doppler ultrasound uses sound waves to evaluate blood flow through the arteries and veins that supply your kidneys. The kidneys and heart are closely linked — kidney disease dramatically increases cardiovascular risk, and high blood pressure is both a cause and consequence of kidney problems.
This test detects narrowed renal arteries (renal artery stenosis), blood clots, and other vascular abnormalities that can cause or worsen hypertension — often uncovering a treatable cause of resistant high blood pressure that standard tests miss.
- Non-invasive, radiation-free ultrasound imaging
- Detects renal artery stenosis — a treatable cause of hypertension
- Essential for patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure
Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a specialized ultrasound that measures blood flow velocity through the brain's major arteries — all through a small probe placed gently on the temple or back of the head. It is non-invasive, radiation-free, and provides real-time insight into cerebral circulation.
TCD is particularly valuable for assessing stroke risk, detecting narrowing of intracranial arteries, evaluating patients with sickle cell disease (who are at elevated risk for stroke), and monitoring blood flow after a head injury or during cardiovascular surgery.
- Painless, radiation-free brain blood flow assessment
- Critical for stroke risk evaluation and prevention
- Can detect early warning signs before a stroke occurs
Thyroid Ultrasound & Screening
The thyroid gland may be small, but its influence on the cardiovascular system is enormous. Both an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) and an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can cause heart rhythm abnormalities, elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, and even heart failure if left untreated.
Our thyroid screening combines ultrasound imaging of the gland with blood work to evaluate thyroid hormone levels — giving a complete picture of how this master metabolic regulator may be affecting your heart health.
- Painless ultrasound of the thyroid gland in minutes
- Identifies thyroid disorders that silently affect heart rhythm
- Combined imaging and lab work for complete evaluation
Diabetic Screening
Diabetes and heart disease are deeply intertwined — adults with diabetes are nearly twice as likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke, often at a younger age. Yet millions of people have prediabetes or early-stage diabetes without knowing it.
Our diabetic screening includes fasting blood glucose, HbA1c (a 3-month average of blood sugar), and a cardiovascular risk assessment tailored to diabetic physiology. Early detection of blood sugar issues gives you a powerful window for intervention before permanent damage occurs.
- HbA1c and fasting glucose for comprehensive diabetes evaluation
- Diabetes multiplies cardiovascular risk — early detection is critical
- Lifestyle and nutrition counseling included with results
Comprehensive Blood Testing
A complete blood panel is the foundation of cardiovascular diagnosis. Our comprehensive blood work covers the full lipid profile (LDL, HDL, triglycerides, total cholesterol), markers of inflammation like hs-CRP, blood sugar and HbA1c, kidney function, liver function, thyroid hormones, and complete blood count.
Every result is reviewed by a qualified professional who explains what your numbers mean in the context of your personal health history — not just whether they fall inside a generic reference range. You'll understand exactly which markers matter most for your heart.
- Full lipid panel, inflammation markers, and metabolic screening
- Results interpreted in context — not just generic ranges
- Fast turnaround with clear, written results and guidance
