Well
always be here for you.
Our philosophy of care centers on relationships with patients,
families, referring physicians and the community. We are proud
to be affiliated with the Lubbock Heart Hospital, University
Medical Center and Covenant Medical Center for your convenience.
You will find:
Angiogram Also known as cardiac catheterization,
it is used to measure pressures in the heart chambers and
vessels.
Electrophysiology study This is specialized
electrical testing of the heart for irregular or abnormal
heart rhythms that may be life-threatening so that proper
treatment can be given.
Transesophageal echocardiogram This special
echocardiogram shows the actual shape and contraction of
the heart muscle and the flow of blood through the heart
chambers and valves.
Coated stents & angioplasty We use the new
FDA-approved coated stents, along with angioplasty. Unlike
traditional stents, these new stents are coated with a special
drug that protects arterial walls for extended periods of
time and keeps arteries open much longer. More importantly,
it dramatically reduces the need for open-heart bypass surgeries
and repeat angioplasties.
