Cardiac Services

Midwest Regional Medical Center is always leading the way with new treatments, both surgical and non-surgical.

Clinical Cardiology

The main entry point for most heart patients is through our extensive clinical cardiology program. Our highly skilled cardiologists see patients with both common heart problems and complex heart conditions. Providing state-of-the-art tests and procedures, we can assess conditions and present treatment options with greater accuracy and confidence.

Cardiovascular Imaging

Midwest Regional Medical Center uses advanced, invasive and noninvasive diagnostic tools for accurately assessing heart conditions. These procedures—available to both inpatients and outpatients—include:

• Cardiac CT
• Cardiac Calcium Scoring
• Cardiac MRI
• Angiography
• Cardiac Catheterization (Angiogram )
• Doppler Ultrasound
• Echocardiography
• Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG)
• Electrophysiology Studies(EP)
• Fractional Flow Analysis
• Gated Blood Pool Scan (MUGA)
• Holter Monitoring
• Intravascular Ultrasound
• Nuclear Studies
• Stress Electrocardiography
• Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)
• Tilt Tables
• X-Ray

Heart Rhythm Disorders (Electrophysiology and Pacing)

Midwest Regional Medical Center offers a variety of highly specialized treatment approaches for patients having difficulty with the heart’s rhythm and electrical signaling. Heart rhythm disorders can be treated with medications or with a wide range of electrophysiology, mapping, and ablation procedures, as well as devices such as a pacemaker or defibrillator (ICD). We treat many different forms of arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats, using surgical techniques and catheter-based techniques (PVI) for:

• Atrial fibrillation (AF)  (the most common heart rhythm disorder)
• Atrial flutter
• Tachycardia (heart beats too fast)
• Bradycardia (heart beats too slow)
• Supraventricular tachycardia
• Wolfe Parkinson White syndrome
• Ventricular tachycardia
• Neurogenic disorders such as syncope
• Other complex arrhythmias

Cardiovascular Rehabilitation

Midwest Regional Medical Center offers nutritional services, prescriptive exercise programs, stress testing, risk reduction programs and more to help those who already have heart and vascular disease, as well as those who are at high risk for developing it. In addition, we host a Heart Healthy Support Group to help patients who have been diagnosed with heart disease maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Heart Failure Care

Our board-certified cardiologists are focused on developing and administering effective therapies for treating and managing heart failure and cardiomyopathy. The heart failure program equips patients to self-manage their condition, which helps alleviate symptoms, prevents reoccurrence of symptoms and decreases the need for emergency care or hospitalization.

Invasive Cardiology

We offer the latest, most technologically advanced diagnostic tests and treatments for problems as common as chest pain (angina) or as serious as a heart attack (myocardial infarction). This may involve stents, angioplasty, ultrasound techniques, emboli-protection devices, enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP), and catheter-based cardiac assist devices like the Impella. 

Vascular Medicine

Midwest Regional Medical Center provides a multidisciplinary team of experts to detect, diagnose, and manage complex and common diseases of the blood vessels, including peripheral artery disease, diffuse and premature atherosclerosis, conditions such as Raynaud’s disease and arterial, venous, and lymphatic disorders.
