Cardiovascular Center: Our comprehensive cardiovascular program offers the latest innovations in cardiac care and clinical therapies. We have an active inpatient service, dealing with all types of cardiovascular disease.

MRXUH Cardiovascular Laboratory provides non-invasive cardiovascular diagnostic procedures to evaluate cardiovascular function to both in-patients and out-patients.
 
• ELECTROCARDIOGRAM (ECG) – 12-LEAD / 15-LEAD

A quick, painless test that records the heart’s electrical activity to detect rhythm problems, heart strain, or possible heart attack.

• 2D ECHOCARDIOGRAM (HEART ULTRASOUND)

A non-invasive ultrasound scan that checks the heart’s structure, pumping function, and valves.

Available for:

• Adult – for routine and specialized heart assessment
• Pediatric (Pedia) – for infants and children
• Neonatal – for newborn heart evaluation
• Fetal Echocardiogram – checks the baby’s heart while still in the womb
• Bubble Contrast Echo – uses microbubbles to help detect abnormal blood flow or small heart defects

 
• TRANSESOPHAGEAL ECHOCARDIOGRAM (TEE)

A specialized heart ultrasound performed through the esophagus for clearer and more detailed heart imaging.

• STRESS ECHOCARDIOGRAM

An echo done before and after exercise to assess blood flow and heart performance during physical stress.

• DOBUTAMINE STRESS ECHOCARDIOGRAM

A stress echo using medication (Dobutamine) to simulate exercise for patients who cannot do treadmill testing.

• TREADMILL STRESS TEST

A monitored walking/running test that checks how the heart responds to physical activity and helps detect reduced blood flow.

• VASCULAR DUPLEX SCAN

An ultrasound test that evaluates blood flow and checks for blockage, narrowing, or clots in blood vessels.

• Carotid Duplex Scan – examines neck arteries to assess stroke risk
• Arterial Duplex Scan – checks arteries for narrowing or poor circulation
• Venous Duplex Scan – checks veins for blood clots (DVT) or venous insufficiency

 
• 24-HOUR / 48-HOUR HOLTER MONITORING

Continuous heart rhythm monitoring to detect irregular heartbeat, palpitations, or unexplained dizziness.

• 24-HOUR AMBULATORY BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING (ABPM)

A full-day blood pressure recording to detect masked or fluctuating hypertension and evaluate treatment effectiveness.
