Cardiovascular Laboratory

One in five Americans suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease. The cardiovascular laboratory conducts minimally invasive catheter-based procedures to identify clinical problems including stroke, carotid artery disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and peripheral vascular disease. The patient is placed in a supine position on an x-ray table and a thin catheter (tube) is placed into the blood vessel enabling Cardiologists to see arteries and the heart through the use of an x-ray camera.
