As a network of community-based clinics, we can perform several services and tests in our offices. When you need care outside of our clinic, we provide around-the-clock coverage at our Surgery Center and select UAB St. Vincent’s locations (East, Saint Clair, and Blount). We offer the following tests and advanced diagnostics:
Electrocardiogram (EKG) and Echocardiogram
Measures the heart’s electrical activity to detect arrhythmias or heart damage.
PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography + CT Scan)
PET/CT combines the power of PET imaging with a CT scan to create a precise, 3‑D picture of your heart and blood flow.
Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI)
Also known as a nuclear stress test – uses a small amount of a radioactive tracer to evaluate the flow of blood to your heart muscle.
Cardiac Catheterization
A minimally invasive test using contrast dye and imaging to show how well your heart and blood vessels are working.
Stress Testing
Evaluates heart function during exercise or medication-induced stress.
Holter Monitoring
If you experience symptoms of heart disease but a standard electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) can’t detect the cause, Holter monitoring could provide the answers.
Advanced Lipid Testing
A blood test that may be recommended to help optimize cholesterol treatment.
