Cardiology
Our
Dallas Cardiovascular Center enables us to perform a multitude of diagnostic and interventional procedures
including: 24-hour holter monitoring, trans-esophageal/trans-thoracic
echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, stress tests, pacemaker insertions
and cardiac catheterizations.
Cardiology Catheterization Lab
Dallas Medical Center consistently meets or exceeds the door-to-balloon
time standard of 90 minutes thanks to our newly updated lab and experienced
Cardiac Cath Lab staff. The Cardiac Catheterization lab staff is available
24 hours a day for emergencies and remains fully trained and equipped
to respond within the national door to balloon time standard. The board
certified cardiologists work closely with the staff in monitoring these
patients and providing the best care for a positive outcome.
Diagnostic Testing
Echocardiograms, EKG’s and stress testing can all be arranged on
an outpatient basis for the patient’s treatment convenience. Diagnostic
cardiac catheterization patients are able to be admitted through day surgery
and can be discharged home the same day.
We have a highly qualified team of heart doctors that offer prevention,
detection, and treatment of heart diseases in Dallas. In addition, Dr.
Prem Reddy, Chairman, President, and CEO of Prime Healthcare is a member
of our leadership and is board certified in cardiology. In his 25 years
of practice he has performed over 5,000 cardiac procedures, ranging from
coronary angiographies to pacemaker implantation.
