Cardiovascular stress tests are used to determine how well your heart handles a heavy workload
-
Coronary calcium scans are used to identify early-stage heart disease by using advanced heart analysis technology.
Using a special X-ray test called computed tomography (CT), a coronary calcium scan checks for the buildup of calcium in plaque on the walls of the coronary arteries of the heart.
This test can provide doctors with valuable information to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease, preventing symptoms from worsening and reducing the chance of suffering from a potentially fatal cardiac emergency such as heart attack or stroke.

Patients suffering from abnormal heart rhythm may benefit from electrophysiology procedures, advanced medical techniques used to restore heart rhythm and improve quality of life.
Abnormal heart rhythm, also known as an arrhythmia, affects the movement of blood through your heart and may increase your risk of developing blood clots that can cause a heart attack or stroke.
The providers at Heart & Vascular Center of West Tennessee use advanced electrophysiology procedures to find and treat the underlying cause of abnormal heart rhythm.
These procedures include:
Radiofrequency ablation - An effective treatment for abnormal heart rhythm, this procedure uses radiofrequency energy to heat specific areas of the heart, destroying small areas of the damaged cardiac tissue and restoring your normal heart rhythm
Electrophysiology procedures are minimally invasive, restoring your heart rhythm while requiring only a short recovery time.

During a nuclear wall study, your doctor uses small amounts of radioactive material to create detailed images of your heart and blood vessels to diagnose heart disease
-
Peripheral angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to open narrowed or blocked arteries located outside the heart, typically in the legs. During the procedure, a balloon-tipped catheter is inserted into the affected artery and inflated, widening the vessel to improve blood flow. In some cases, a stent may be placed to help keep the artery open and prevent future narrowing. This treatment alleviates blockages or narrowing in the blood vessels of the legs, reducing the risk of developing conditions such as peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
Service is available at the Jackson and Dyersburg locations.
-
A pulmonary function test (PFT) is a group of tests used to assess the health and function of your lungs.
-
An ultrasonography uses sound wave technology to create images of your internal organs, allowing doctors to evaluate your heart, blood vessels, and circulation.
Cardiac echocardiogram - A cardiac echocardiogram uses sound wave technology to assess the structure and function of your heart
-
Varicose vein ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that closes off affected veins using heat or chemicals. Once the vein is sealed, blood is redirected through healthier veins. Over time, the treated vein shrinks and is absorbed by the body, alleviating the painful and uncomfortable symptoms associated with varicose veins.
