Cardiovascular Imaging Program

Cardiovascular

What is Cardiovascular Imaging Program?

We have multiple imaging modality tracks: Echocardiography (1 yr), Cardiac MRI (1 yr), Nuclear Cardiology & CT Angiography (1 yr), CT/PET (1 yr), or a two-year Multi-Modality program that is flexible. Research participation is required for the two-year program.

Cardiac imaging includes several types of tests that take pictures of your heart and surrounding structures. Healthcare providers use the tests to diagnose and manage heart conditions. Examples of cardiac imaging methods are chest X-ray, cardiac MRI and nuclear cardiac stress testing.

  • Cardiac MRI.
  • Echocardiogram (echo).
  • Cardiac computed tomography (CT).
  • Nuclear cardiac stress test.
  • Cardiac positron emission tomography (PET).
  • Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
  • Coronary angiogram or left heart catheterization (“heart cath”).
  • Arrhythmia.
  • Coronary artery disease.
  • Heart attack.
  • Heart failure.
  • Heart valve disease.
  • Pericardial disease, or disease of the heart lining.
  • Pediatric and congenital heart conditions such as structural abnormalities.

New imaging tests do not replace understanding, recognizing, and managing traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, diet, weight, and exercise. New imaging may be useful when deciding the next step in treatment, or whether to start treatment at all

Regular, daily physical activity can lower the risk of heart disease. Physical activity helps control your weight. It also lowers the chances of getting other conditions that may put a strain on the heart. These include high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.

How is it diagnosed?

How is it diagnosed?
  • Cardiac clearance.
  • Cardiac MRI.
  • Echocardiograms (cardiac ultrasound)
  • Electrocardiograms (EKG)
  • Cardiac CT Angiography.
  • Coronary calcium score.
  • HeartFlow FFRct analysis.
  • Outpatient cardiac monitoring (including holter, telemetry and event recorders)

How is it treated?

Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia is vital. It varies with the patient and stage of the disease. Treatment options include

  • Cardiac clearance.
  • Cardiac MRI.
  • Echocardiograms (cardiac ultrasound)
  • Electrocardiograms (EKG)
  • Cardiac CT Angiography.
  • Coronary calcium score.
  • HeartFlow FFRct analysis.
  • Outpatient cardiac monitoring (including holter, telemetry and event recorders)
