Changing lives every day 

Your heart is vital to your overall health and wellbeing. A healthy heart is essential for a long and happy life. Sadly, many problems can arise with your heart health, and the warning signs and symptoms may not be obvious. Thankfully Premier Cardiology & Vascular Associates are here to help and make a significant difference to your future. We are expert doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating problems within your heart and the surrounding arteries.  

What is Cardiology? 

First things first, Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the study, diagnosis, and care of the cardiovascular system. Cardio relates to your heart, and vascular is the body’s network of vessels, veins and arteries which carry blood around your body. Your dedicated cardiologist will build up a picture of your overall heart health.  

  • Review your medical records and find out about your health history. 

  • Check and test your blood pressure, blood vessels and lung function. 

  • Run diagnostic tests such as x-rays, blood tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG), or other specialized tests to determine the problem. 

There are four main types of cardiology: invasive, non-invasive, interventional and preventative. Your personal cardiologists here at Premier Cardiology & Vascular Associates may use one or several techniques to diagnose and correctly treat your heart condition. 

Non-Invasive Cardiology 

As the name suggests, non-invasive cardiology identifies heart problems without using any needles, fluids, or other instruments inserted into the body. Using non-invasive procedures, your cardiac specialist can identify potential risks or existing conditions and recommend medication, treatment or lifestyle changes to help improve your heart health. 

Non-invasive testing and procedures offered by Premier Cardiology & Vascular Associates include: 

  • Nuclear cardiology 

We harness safe radioactive imaging elements in this non-invasive study of cardiovascular disorders. Careful imaging techniques allow us to view different aspects of your heartand identify potential problems. 

  • Echocardiography (ECG) 

Painless ultrasound waves generate images of the heart and nearby structures. An ECG allows us to observe your heart’s capacity to pump blood, fight off infections, and reveal structural abnormalities that could have a significant impact on your cardiac health. 

  • Doppler Echocardiogram 

  • Echo (Transthoracic echocardiogram) 

  • Carotid 

  • Venous 

  • Arterials 

  • Abdominal Aortic Aneurism 

  • Groin 

  • Cardiac electrophysiology 

The study and testing of the electrical currents which generate heartbeats.

  • Cardioversion 

  • Stress Tests

Stress testing involves exercise and physical activity closely monitored by your cardiologist. By getting your blood pumping and your body moving, your cardiologist gains valuable information about how your heart performs under physical stress. 

  • Treadmill Stress Test (GXT) 

  • Nuclear Stress Test (Myocardial Perfusion Imaging) 

  • Exercise Nuclear Stress Test​ 

  • Pharmacological Nuclear Stress Test 

  • Adenosine/Lexiscan 

  • Heart monitors 

Wearing a heart monitor is another way for your cardiologist to monitor your heart’s activity and capacity. Also referred to as Holter monitors or cardiac event recorders, externally positioned heart monitors record your heart’s electrical activity over a set length of time. 

  • Electrophysiology 

  • Telemetry 

  • Holter 

  • Event Monitor 

  • Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 

  • Pacemaker and ICD Checks 

  • CT Scans 

CT scans generate images used in determining whether you have heart disease or atherosclerosis, otherwise known as plaque build-up on your arteries. 

Invasive Cardiology 

Invasive cardiology uses safe open, or minimally invasive procedures using needles, fluids or catheters to locate and treat structural or electrical abnormalities within the cardiac system. 

Invasive testing and treatments offered by Premier Cardiology & Vascular Associates include: 

  • Angioplasty  

Arterial plaque is a soft, sticky film comprised of cholesterol, calcium, fat, and other substances found in your blood. If too much plaque is clogging your arteries, your blood flow may become affected. Angioplasty is used to treat this condition and involves inserting a tiny balloon into your clogged vein to push plaque against the walls to increase blood flow and help your heart return to normal capacity. 

  • Stenting 

Often performed jointly with angioplasty, a cardiac stent is a tiny metal or plastic coil/tube which permanently holds a clogged vein open. 

  • Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) 

  • Pacemaker insertion 

  • Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) 

  • Cardiac Catheterization (Coronary Angiogram) 

  • Rotational Atherectomy (or Rotablator) 

  • Directional Atherectomy (DCA) 

  • Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) 

  • Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) 

  • Renal Artery Angioplasty 

  • Coronary Stents 

  • Drug-Eluting Stents 

Interventional Cardiology 

Interventional cardiology is a non-surgical treatment option that uses a catheter – a small, flexible tube. We use this treatment to repair damaged or weakened vessels, narrowed arteries, or other affected parts of the heart structure. 

Common conditions treated by interventional cardiology by Premier Cardiology & Vascular Associates include: 

  • Coronary artery  disease  

The narrowing of the arteries which supply blood and oxygen to the heart. 

  • Heart valve  disease

The valves which control blood flow into the heart’s chambers are not working correctly. 

  • Peripheral vascular  disease

Your heart can also be negatively impacted by clogged or hardened veins and arteries throughout your body. 

Preventative Cardiology 

As you would expect, preventive cardiology focuses on preventing or lowering patients’ risk of developing heart disease, having a first heart attack or stroke. Additionally, averting further issues in people who already have cardiovascular disease. 

  • Traditional risk factors, such as cholesterol and blood pressure 

  • Lifestyle factors 

  • A detailed family history of heart disease 

  • Imaging tests of the heart and blood vessels​ 

  • Advanced blood tests, such as C-reactive protein and advanced lipoprotein testing, as necessary​
