The physician who ordered your cardiac procedure should provide you with all the specific appointment and preparation guidelines. If special preparation is needed, you will be contacted by one of our cardiac nurses the day before your test. The latest nuclear stress tests, echocardiography, interventional cardiology, and other diagnostic services are available in the Cardiac Care Center. The Cardiac Care Center is also pleased to announce the recent addition of a cardiac computerized tomography (CT) scanner. During a CT scan, which is a painless test that produces clear pictures of the heart, an X-ray machine moves around the patient and takes pictures of every part of the patient’s heart.
