The Nuclear Cardiology Service line provides inpatient and outpatient services. It is recognized at the local, national and international levels as a center of excellence in providing the highest quality patient care, teaching and research. We have written, in a way, the textbook in this field.

What makes the service line unique, besides the name recognition, is a combined experience of over one century, a highly qualified dedicated support system, up-to date hardware and software, attention to details selecting the most appropriate test to meet the needs of the individual patient and the variety of stress tests and imaging protocols.

Finally, we pride ourselves on being responsive to patients' and physicians' needs by having the shortest possible delays between request time to actual study time and fastest possible time between completions of study to communication of results. The results are conveyed in a manner that enhances patient care because we understand the reasons and expectations of performing these studies and we leave no room for ambiguity.

We evaluate patients with a variety of known or suspected cardiac ailments, including:

• coronary heart disease
• diabetes
• hypertension
• heart failure, including those who have had prior heart attacks, stents or bypass surgery,
• rhythm problems
• chest pain

We also evaluate those who are scheduled for major non-cardiac surgery, in order to ensure the highlest level of safety for our patients.
