Hendrick Clinic Cardiology

A diagnosis of heart or vascular conditions and diseases often begins with your primary care physician, who then refers you to a cardiologist. Equipped with state-of-the-art tools and technology, our cardiologists focus on the prevention, diagnosis and medical management of a multitude of heart conditions.

Non-Invasive Cardiology

Non-invasive cardiology focuses on the detection and treatment of heart disease using external tests to evaluate and diagnose cardiac disorders, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting or rapid and irregular heartbeats. These tests could include:

Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- Signal Average EKG
- Holter Monitor (24 or 48 hours)
- Long-Term Ambulatory Telemetry (up to 30 days)

Pacemaker/Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator Testing

Stress Test
- Exercise Treadmill
- Nuclear

Segmental Pressures Study
- PVR
- Arterial

Echocardiogram
- Stress
- Transesophageal

Ultrasound Imaging
- Carotid
- Arterial
- Venous
- Abdominal Vascular

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (24-hour)

Conditions Treated

  • Angina and Angina Pectoris (chest discomfort or pain)
  • Aortic Disease
  • Arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
  • Arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeat or disruption in the heart’s electrical system)
  • Atrial Flutter
  • Atrial Tachycardia (rapid heartbeat originating in the atria)
  • Cardiac Murmur
  • Congenital Heart Disease
  • Coronary Artery Disease
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
  • Heart Failure
  • Hypertensive Heart Disease (high blood pressure)
  • Myocardial Infarction (heart attack)
  • Pericardial Disease (inflammation of the sac-like tissue surrounding the heart)
  • Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
  • Pulmonary Embolism
  • Renal Artery Disease (narrowing of arteries that carry blood to kidneys)
  • Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack
  • Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
  • Vascular Disease
  • Venous Insufficiency (failure of veins to adequately circulate blood)
  • Ventricular Tachycardia (rapid heart rate derived from the ventricles)
  • Ventricular Fibrillation (rapid, uncontrolled heartbeat causing the heart to quiver)
