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.

Preventative
cardiology
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
Echocardiography (ECG)
- 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

- Treadmill Stress Test (GXT)
- Nuclear Stress Test (Myocardial Perfusion Imaging)
- Exercise Nuclear Stress Test
- Pharmacological Nuclear Stress Test
- Adenosine/Lexiscan
Heart monitors
- 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 to locate and treat structural or electrical abnormalities within the cardiac system.
Invasive testing and treatments offered by Premier Cardiology & Vascular Associates include:
Angioplasty

Stenting
- 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
Heart valve
disease
Peripheral vascular
disease
Your heart can also be negatively impacted by clogged or hardened veins and arteries throughout your body.
Preventative Cardiology

- 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
