Frequently asked questions
- What types of heart conditions does Cardiac PET Partners diagnose?
- Cardiac PET Partners offers diagnostic services for a range of heart conditions, including heart disease, angina and heart attack, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary stent issues, and cardiac sarcoidosis. They also perform viability testing.
- What is the primary diagnostic technology used at Cardiac PET Partners?
- The primary diagnostic technology used at Cardiac PET Partners is Positron Emission Tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging. This non-invasive technology delivers highly accurate assessment of known or suspected coronary artery disease, the presence of prior cardiac injury, and heart function.
- What is coronary artery disease and how does Cardiac PET Partners help?
- Coronary artery disease is a chronic condition where cholesterol deposits, called plaque, build up along the inner walls of arteries, restricting blood flow to the heart. Cardiac PET Partners uses viability testing to evaluate heart function and blood flow, helping to diagnose and monitor this condition.
- What are the symptoms of angina and how is it related to heart attacks?
- Angina is a medical term for heart-related chest pain, which can be a symptom of a heart attack. Other symptoms might include shortness of breath, fatigue, acid reflux-like symptoms, and discomfort in the shoulders, arms, neck, or jaw. Cardiac PET Partners provides cardiac PET scans and other diagnostic tests to evaluate heart function and heart attack risk.
- What non-surgical treatments for heart disease are mentioned?
- Many forms of heart disease can be treated with a combination of medication and lifestyle changes. Nonsurgical treatments include cardiac catheterization techniques like angioplasty (balloon or laser) to clear blocked arteries, often with stent placement, and atherectomy to scrape away plaque.
