Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our philosophy is to offer the least invasive procedures, including diagnostic testing, available. While X-rays, MRIs and most ultrasounds are non-invasive, to get a closer look at your cardiovascular anatomy, we may need to perform more invasive tests, such as cardiac catheterizations or transesophageal echocardiograms. While still minimally invasive – meaning we don’t need to make large incisions to access your anatomy – these do involve putting instruments inside your body, often with a form of anesthesia. We will discuss all the options available and let you know of the risks involved with the more invasive tests we offer.
-
We have established detailed processes based on symptoms and health history that help us determine the best steps for diagnosis and treatment. With these processes and our advanced testing tools, our patients now spend 50 percent less time in the hospital.
