Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Imaging
The first step toward a healthy heart is to determine the type and extent of cardiovascular disease. Lower Keys Medical Center provides heart care, offering advanced diagnostic equipment. Experienced clinical cardiologists use a wide range of cardiac procedures to diagnose heart disease, including:
- Nuclear medicine scans such as myocardial perfusion scans utilize a small dose of radioactive material to reveal the structure and blood flow within the heart.
- Non-invasive imaging technologies including magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), computed tomography angiography (CTA), X-ray and echocardiograms provide images of the heart muscle, valves, veins and arteries.
