Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in the United States both for men and women. In spite of our therapeutic advances, 1.2 million Americans suffer from an Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) every year and 500,000 die as a result.
Studies indicate that identifying and detecting heart disease early and reversing risk factors that lead to heart disease prevents bad outcomes such as heart attacks and strokes.
Carlton Cardiology Associates Is offering a one-day all inclusive cardiovascular screening.
When you call to schedule your appointment, you will be sent a requisition for a comprehensive cardiovascular blood panel that can be done a few days prior to your appointment at one of many convenient laboratories in the area. This will allow us to have your lab results available on the day of your appointment.
Your appointment at our facility will begin with Nuclear Cardiology Diagnostic testing followed by Echocardiography, Carotid artery ultrasound screening, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm ultrasound screening and Peripheral Vascular ultrasound screening.
The above examinations will be followed by a complete history and physical by one of our board certified cardiologists and a thorough review of all of your test results.
With your written authorization, we will be happy to send you and your primary care physician a copy of your evaluation.
In addition to providing the services and expertise of four Board Certified cardiologists, we employ highly trained and certified nuclear and ultrasound technologists.
We have a state-of-the-art dual head Siemens nuclear gamma camera system that offers patient comfort as well as high quality diagnostic imaging and a Siemens CV-70 ultrasound machine that provides digital playback images with optimal clarity.
