Cardiology Screening and Prevention
If it is deemed that you require additional cardiology assessments, our Cardiac Disease Management Clinic at UPMC Whitfield Hospital will help you maintain heart health. We also take care of any cardiac procedures you need in a seamless service, under one roof. Our screening and treatment procedures include:
- 24-hour Holter monitoring: This records your heart's rate and rhythm over a 24-hour period.
- 24-hour blood pressure monitoring: This checks your blood pressure over 24 hours and is more accurate than regular tests.
- Cardiac event monitoring: This controls the electrical activity of your heart when you need longer-term monitoring.
- Echocardiogram (ECG): This measures how efficiently blood is being pumped through your heart's valves.
- Exercise stress testing: This measures how well your heart copes when it is working hard.
- Cardioversion: This treatment helps your heart return to a normal rhythm if it is not beating regularly. Cardioversion can prevent stroke, heart attack, fainting, and sudden cardiac death.
- ILR implantation: An implantable loop recorder (ILR) is a device we use to diagnose heart rhythm disorders.
- TOE procedure: Our specialists use a flexible device to examine your heart chambers and valves.
- EP studies: A series of tests that examine the heart's electrical activity, also called an invasive cardiac electrophysiology test.
- Pacemaker insertion: There have been huge advances in pacemaker technology in recent years. We fit pacemakers to regulate electrical problems with your heart.
