General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  Patients with simple palpitations to complex arrhythmias are referred to the Arrhythmia Center by their primary care provider or cardiologist for consultation regarding their rhythm condition. These could be newly diagnosed patients with atrial fibrillation (AFIB) or one that may need additional treatment options to manage their arrhythmia.
• Electrocardiogram
  Full-time opening for a Licensed Practical Nurse in Mobile. Job duties include triage, patient care, obtaining vital signs including EKGs and other related responsibilities. Qualified candidates should have at least 1 year of experience in a fast paced clinical setting. One year cardiology experience preferred. Excellent benefits, competitive salary and pleasant working environment.

Internists

• Internal Medicine
  A preliminary screening test performed on our ultra fast CT scanner. A cardiac calcium score is a strong predictor in determining if you may be on a path to or have the beginning stages of heart disease. Cardiac calcium scoring identifies and measures the amount of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries and rates it based on the Agatston Scale. To schedule a Cardiac Calcium Scoring Screening test talk to your primary care provider or internal medicine provider for a referral. To schedule call 251-340-6807.
• Lung Cancer
  Screening tests help to identify the early presence or an absence of disease or cancer. We offer the following screening tests used for the detection and severity of heart disease and early detection of lung cancer. These are performed on our ultra fast CT scanner in our Mobile and Fairhope office locations.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Thyroid

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  An echocardiography study is often used when evaluating a patient for valvular disease which is an ultrasound of the heart and provides important information on the structure and function of the heart muscle and valves.
• MRI
  (Clinical Study for Safety and Acute Performance Evaluation of the THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH SF-5D System Used With Fast Ablation Mode in Treatment of Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation) is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study enrolling patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation indicated for catheter-based pulmonary vein isolation. Primary endpoints were short-term effectiveness (confirmation of entrance block in all targeted pulmonary veins after adenosine/isoproterenol challenge) and short-term safety (primary adverse events). Participants were screened for silent cerebral lesions by magnetic resonance imaging. Patients were followed for 3 months post-ablation.
• Radiology
  Early detection of malignant tumors can increase survival rates of patients who may be diagnosed with lung cancer. A low dose CT lung screening can identify cancer cells at a time when they are still localized to the lungs and these CT images can detect smaller nodules or cancer than a standard chest x ray. Low dose CT lung screening is a non-invasive, painless procedure that uses low-dose x rays to screen the lung for cancer in just seconds. This test is performed on our ultra fast CT scanner using 90% less radiation than a conventional chest CT scan. If you are between the ages of 50 to 77, currently smoke or have quit smoking within the last 15 years and have a 20 pack-year smoking history you may qualify for the low dose CT lung screening. Should you not meet the screening requirements, we offer this screening for $250. Cardiology Associates is a accredited by the American College of Radiology as a Designated Lung Cancer Screening Center. To schedule a Low Dose CT Screening test talk to your primary care provider or internal medicine provider for a referral. To schedule call 251-340-6807.
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  Diagnostic tests, which are typically performed in the office setting, help our physicians identify or diagnose cardiovascular conditions. The results provide our physicians with information to help determine the best course of treatment. These tests are used to identify heart and vascular issues. Some of the diagnostic tests involve nuclear medicine, the use of a small amount of radioactive substance, to produce two and three dimensional images and blood flow function.
• Computed Tomography
  Once a patient's medical history, family history and risk factors are reviewed, additional testing or imaging studies may be recommended to more accurately diagnose heart or vascular problems. In addition to traditional heart and vascular studies, Cardiology Associates is an experienced leader in advanced cardiovascular imaging. In 2005, Cardiology Associates was the first private practice in the country to offer cardiac computed tomography, CT, using an ultra-fast CT scanner. In 2010, we added the additional capabilities of cardiac PET. Cardiology Associates' CT and PET technicians are licensed and highly trained, and our facilities are accredited the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission for CT, Nuclear Cardiology and PET.

Dermatologists

• Lesions
  The purpose of COPPER-B trial is to assess the feasibility, safety, and initial efficacy of paclitaxel administration using the OPC for the prevention of restenosis in infrapopliteal de novo and restenotic lesions and occlusions using a novel catheter, teh OPC.
