Cardiology Consultation

A thorough discussion of your symptoms, medical history and risk factors so we can decide together which tests make the most sense for you.

Echocardiography

A painless ultrasound that creates moving pictures of your heart, showing how the chambers and valves are working in real time.

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)

A simple recording of your heart’s electrical activity that can spot rhythm problems or signs of past strain in just a few minutes.

Exercise Stress Test

You walk on a treadmill while we monitor how your heart responds to activity, helping us see if blood flow stays adequate when demand rises.

Holter Monitoring

A small portable device you wear for 24 to 48 hours that tracks every heartbeat during your normal day, catching irregularities a short office test might miss.

Nuclear Stress Test

Combines imaging with a stress test to show how well blood reaches different parts of the heart muscle at rest and under effort.

Pacemaker Lab

Routine checks of existing pacemakers or defibrillators to make sure the device is working properly and the battery has enough life.

Transesophageal Echocardiography

A more detailed ultrasound performed with a small probe passed into the esophagus for clearer views of the heart’s back structures and valves.

Most of these conditions respond best when caught early. Our accredited vascular laboratory in Ocean & Monmouth County let us complete the necessary studies in one convenient visits.
