Noninvasive Cardiology

If you smoke, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes; you may be one of the millions of Americans with heart disease. For many people, heart disease is treatable through medical procedures and lifestyle changes. And because it can be asymptomatic, it’s important to find out if you have heart disease. At Monmouth Cardiology Associates, we offer a variety of diagnostic tests that we perform without surgery, giving us a safe and accurate means of detecting heart disease in our patients.

Transesophogeal Echocardiography - TEE

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a test that produces pictures of your heart. TEE uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to make detailed pictures of your heart and the internal structures of the heart (valves). Unlike a standard echocardiogram, the echo transducer that produces the sound waves for TEE is attached to a thin tube that passes through your mouth, down your throat and into your esophagus. Because the esophagus is so close to the upper chambers of the heart, very clear images of those heart structures and valves can be obtained.

Tilt Table Test

A tilt table test, occasionally called upright tilt testing, is a medical procedure used to diagnose unexplained loss of consciousness (syncope). Patients with symptoms of dizziness or lightheadedness, with or without a loss of consciousness (fainting), suspected to be associated with a drop in blood pressure or heart rate changes.are good candidates for this test.
