Cardiologists diagnose and treat heart disease. Among the medical services offered by our highly trained staff:

• Echocardiography - (i.e. cardiac ultrasound or heart sonogram), involves the use of high frequency sound waves to evaluate the heart structure and physiology. Two dimensional, Doppler and Color Doppler modalities are used during this process. Coronary artery disease ( heart blockages or hardening of the arteries) is evaluated by combining traditional stress testing -exercise / treadmill or pharmacological (dobutamine) with echocardiography imaging. All exams at CMSA are performed by ARDMS registered cardiac sonographers (as certified by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography) and interpreted by our board certified cardiologists at CMSA. The echocardiography lab is a fully digital lab with all exams performed on state of the art ultrasound equipment. The echocardiography lab is accredited by ICAEL (Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories) in the areas of Adult Echocardiography and Stress Echocardiography.

• Electrocardiograms (EKG) - to diagnose the heart's condition by measuring its electrical impulses.

• Holter monitoring - a portable EKG apparatus that the patient wears for 24 hours.

• Cardiac event monitoring - a month-long process, during which the patient attaches a monitor as needed to catch intermittent disturbances in heart rhythm.

• Treadmill testing - to evaluate the heart's response to physical stress

• Cholesterol testing and management - treatment may involve dietary changes and/or drug therapy.
