Angioplasty

In angioplasty procedures, doctors use a balloon inserted into a blocked or constricted artery to compress blockages and expand width of the artery so more blood can pass through. It is a common treatment for coronary artery disease, which is a hardening or narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart.

Echocardiogram

An echocardiogram (echo) is a quick and painless imaging test that helps your doctor evaluate your heart. During an echo, small pads are placed on your chest to monitor your heartbeat. A transducer coated with cool gel is then moved over your chest creating sound waves that make images of your heart.

Stress Testing

Stress testing at Crestwood Medical Center is a noninvasive procedure performed on a treadmill to identify and diagnose heart disease.
