  EKG (Electrocardiogram) – An EKG records electrical impulses produced by your heart. This is done using electrodes that are attached to your arm, chest and leg. The electrode wires are attached to a device that records the electrical impulses for the doctor to interpret. The EKG can measure any damage present in the heart, the heart rate and whether or not the heart is beating normally. In addition, the EKG can be used to determine the effects of drugs or devices that affect the heart. It can also indicate the size and position of heart chambers.

To access your medical information, you must submit a written request detailing what information you want access to, whether you want to inspect it or get a copy of it, and if you want a copy, your preferred form and format. We will provide copies in your requested form and format if it is readily producible, or we will provide you with an alternative format you find acceptable, or if we can’t agree and we maintain the record in an electronic format, your choice of a readable electronic or hardcopy format. We will also send a copy to any other person you designate in writing. We will charge a reasonable fee which covers our costs for labor, supplies, postage, and if requested and agreed to in advance, the cost of preparing an explanation or summary. We may deny your request under limited circumstances. If we deny your request to access your child's records or the records of an incapacitated adult you are representing because we believe allowing access would be reasonably likely to cause substantial harm to the patient, you will have a right to appeal our decision.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Invasive cardiology diagnosis involves a series of procedures designed to directly visualize and assess the structure and function of the cardiovascular system. These diagnostic techniques often require the insertion of specialized instruments or devices into the body, providing detailed insights into heart conditions that may not be achievable through non-invasive methods alone. Common invasive diagnostic procedures include cardiac catheterization, angiography, intravascular ultrasound, and coronary angiography. These tests allow cardiologists to accurately diagnose coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, congenital heart defects, and other cardiovascular conditions, guiding appropriate treatment plans.
• MRI
  Non-invasive cardiology diagnosis utilizes advanced imaging techniques and tests to evaluate heart health. These methods include echocardiography, cardiac MRI, CT scans, and stress tests, which provide detailed insights into the structure and function of the heart and blood vessels. By analyzing these non-invasive imaging results, cardiologists can diagnose various heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, and heart rhythm abnormalities. Non-invasive cardiology diagnosis plays a crucial role in early detection, accurate assessment, and effective management of cardiovascular diseases, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
