Heart Care
At Merit Health River Oaks, we realize that access to cardiac services is more than just an added convenience – miles matter when minutes count. That’s why we opened our new interventional catheterization lab. Our Accredited Chest Pain Center combines experienced personnel, technology and heartfelt passion, setting the framework for the quality care we provide for our patients.
Our heart care program focuses on the functions and disorders of the heart and its connected circulatory system. With more than 84 million in the U.S. suffering from some form of cardiovascular disease, helping you create a heart healthy lifestyle and performing potentially lifesaving procedures in emergency situations is vital.
Depending on your condition, your cardiologist may require one or more of the following diagnostic tests:
- Echocardiogram (ECHO) – doppler and stress
- Duplex tests – carotid, venous and arterial
- Arterial physiologic study
- Abdominal/renal vascular doppler
If you or someone you love is experiencing any sign or symptoms of a heart attack, call 9-1-1 immediately and go directly to the emergency room.
