There
is no longer a need to travel great distances and fight traffic to obtain
high quality cardiac care. Wise Regional Health System has an established,
actively expanding Cardiology program. Our medical staff includes board
certified Cardiologists trained to provide you with the full continuum
of cardiac care. The Cardiopulmonary Service Department will assist
physicians with a broad spectrum of non-invasive diagnostic testing.
Our
most recent commitment to the scope and quality of this program includes
a state of the art, nearly two-million dollar Cardiac Catheterization
and Angiography Lab. Designed with physician consultation, this lab
uses the latest technology to allow Cardiologists and Radiologists to
perform diagnostic catheterization of the heart, and angiography of
a variety of other arteries in the legs, arms, head and neck. With this
equipment, the specialized physicians are able to target precise areas
for angioplasty and stent placement to restore proper blood flow.
