Call for Information

We offer a number of various programs and services, but most of the time your care journey will begin with heart tests. These tests help us understand your condition and explain why you are experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath or chest pain. Once we have been able to diagnose your condition, we offer a number of interventions, as well as typical surgical procedures to help improve your quality of life.

Cardiac Diagnostic Testing

Heart tests are the many different tools that we use to figure out what might be causing your symptoms. The nature of your symptoms will also help us determine which tests to run. Heart tests are done in the Cardiology Department located on the third floor at Roxborough Memorial Hospital.

Roxborough Memorial Hospital Cardiac Diagnostic Testing may include:

Echo Laboratory
EKG Laboratory
Pacemaker Evaluation
Holter Monitors
Nuclear Medicine as well as Non Nuclear Stress Testing

Heart failure is a lifelong condition that requires long-term care. Our goal is to effectively manage your symptoms and dramatically reduce the rate of hospitalization and readmission associated with your disease.

Cardiac Catheterization

Roxborough Memorial Hospital’s Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory is dedicated to providing prompt and accurate diagnosis of heart problems such as clogged blood vessels.

Our cardiologists use minimally invasive approaches whenever possible to diagnose and treat heart problems. Many of these procedures involve the use of a catheter—a long, thin, flexible tube that is inserted through a blood vessel (usually in the arm, wrist, leg/groin or neck) and guided into the heart or surrounding vessels.

Cardiac catheterization, also called “heart cath” or just “cath,” may be used for:

Angiography – an imaging procedure that allows the doctor to see high-quality photos of the heart and coronary arteries
Coronary angioplasty and stenting – a procedure involving a balloon that helps widen the arteries and restore blood flow; stents keep the arteries from closing or collapsing again

Cardiac catheterizations at Roxborough Memorial Hospital are performed by board-certified cardiologists who are assisted by skilled technical and nursing staff.

Fully digital equipment and technology
High-resolution monitors, state-of-the-art procedure lighting and streamlined overhead equipment
