24-HOUR OR 48-HOUR HOLTER MONITOR (WEARABLE CONTINUOUS HEART MONITOR)
Involves the hookup and interpretation of a continuous wearable heart monitor that is used to evaluate the electrical activity of the heart. This may be worn for one or two days.
|
$89

Also known as an ultrasound of the heart, this test involves using sophisticated equipment to convert sound waves into real-time images of the heart. The heart's size, structure, thickness, strength, and valves can all be assessed in detail with this study. This particular test, however, only evaluates the heart at rest.
|
$204
|
|
Cardiac Stress Tests
Please visit with your physician regarding benefits and appropriateness of testing for your specific medical situation.
|
|
TREADMILL
Involves exercising on a treadmill with simultaneous monitoring of the electrical activity of your heart. This is one type of "stress test" that may be performed on the heart and also provides an assessment of exercise capacity. This is a reasonable test for some patients, but the least sensitive for the detection of coronary artery disease. References: [1] [2] [3]
|
$70
|
|
STRESS ECHOCARDIOGRAM
This study, like a standard echocardiogram above, also uses sophisticated equipment to convert sound waves into real-time images of the heart. The focus of this study is on the heart's most important pumping chamber, the left ventricle. The left ventricle is assessed in detail at rest, and then again following stress (such as after exercise). This is one type of "stress test" that may be performed on the heart and also includes monitoring of the electrical activity of the heart. This test at BCS Heart is more sensitive than a Treadmill study, but less sensitive than the other types of stress tests listed below for the detection of coronary artery disease. References: [1] [2] [3]

$228
|
SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY (SPECT) MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION STUDY [Learn More]
Involves use of nuclear radioisotopes to evaluate blood flow to the heart at rest and during stress. This is one type of "stress test" that may be performed on the heart and also includes monitoring of the electrical activity of the heart. This test at BCS Heart is more sensitive than both Treadmill and Stress Echocardiography, but less sensitive than a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Myocardial Perfusion Study for the detection of coronary artery disease. References: [1] [2] [3]
|
$755
|
POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET) MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION STUDY [Learn More]
Involves use of nuclear radioisotopes to evaluate blood flow to the heart at rest and during stress. This is one type of "stress test" that may be performed on the heart and also includes monitoring of the electrical activity of the heart. This is the most sensitive test available at BCS Heart for the detection of coronary artery disease. Total-body effective dose of radiation is approximately three times less with this test than standard SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging. References: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Vascular Imaging Studies
Please visit with your physician regarding benefits and appropriateness of testing for your specific medical situation.
|
|
BILATERAL EXTREMITY PHYSIOLOGIC ARTERIAL STUDY
This is a non-imaging study of arterial blood flow in the bilateral arms or legs. Includes physiologic recordings of pressures, Doppler analysis, plethysmography, and/or oxygen tension measurements. Can be performed with or without stress (e.g. post-exercise).

ARTERIAL ULTRASOUND OF SINGLE EXTREMITY [Learn More]
Involves the use of sophisticated equipment to convert sound waves into real-time images of the major arteries in only one extremity. This test is used for the detection of peripheral vascular disease.
|
$148
|
Involves the use of sophisticated equipment to convert sound waves into real-time images of the major artery in your abdomen, the aorta. This test is used for the detection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
|
$187
|
|
Involves the use of sophisticated equipment to convert sound waves into real-time images of the major arteries in your neck known as the carotid arteries. This test is used for the detection of carotid artery stenosis which is a risk factor for stroke.
|
$198
|
|
VENOUS ULTRASOUND OF THE BILATERAL EXTREMITIES
Involves the use of sophisticated equipment to convert sound waves into real-time images of the major veins in your bilateral extremities.
|
$191
|
ARTERIAL ULTRASOUND OF THE BILATERAL EXTREMITIES [Learn More]
Involves the use of sophisticated equipment to convert sound waves into real-time images of the major arteries in your bilateral extremities. This test is used for the detection of peripheral vascular disease.
|
$253
|
|
Involves the use of sophisticated equipment to convert sound waves into real-time images of the arteries supplying your kidneys known as the renal arteries. This test is used for the detection of renal artery stenosis, which can be related to elevated blood pressure and kidney disease.
