OUTPATIENT CARDIOLOGY:

Saint John's Cardiovascular Services offers diagnostic and therapeutic exams. 

 

Catheterization Lab

Saint John's performs hundreds of catheterizations per year to evaluate heart function and determine if arteries are blocked or narrowed.  We provide sophisticated diagnostic catheterization with the personal attention possible in a smaller facility.

 

Other procedures offered to inpatients and outpatients include:

  • Tilt table testing,
  • Transesophageal echocardiograms,
  • Pericardiocenteses,
  • Cardioversions,
  • Infusion therapy
  • Exercise and chemical stress testing
  • Electrocardiograms -- adult and pediatric
  • Echocardiograms -- adult and pediatric
  • Arterial doppler (peripheral vascular) studies,
  • Holter and event monitoring,
  • Thoracenteses

Temporary pacing and intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation are provided on an emergency basis.

 

The service line is staffed by registered nurses, radiology technologists, multiple task technicians, and echocardiography technicians, all of whom perform/assist with testing under the direction of staff cardiologists.

 

HOURS: 6 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
