Cardiology

Maintaining good heart health is a big part of your overall well-being, so our heart specialists are committed to keeping your heart as healthy as possible, offering a wide variety of cardiopulmonary diagnostic services to effectively diagnose and treat symptoms, including:

• Bronchoscopy: a procedure that allows doctors to view the inside of the lungs using a thin tube attached to a small camera
• Diffusion study: a study that helps evaluate lung function by measuring how well the air sacs in the lungs are delivering oxygen to the blood
• Echocardiogram: a diagnostic procedure that uses sound to produce images of the heart
• Electrocardiogram (ECG): a diagnostic procedure that measures electrical activity in the heart
• Lung volume measurement: a diagnostic test that measures the maximum amount of gas exhaled during breathing
  
• Spirometry: a diagnostic test that measures how quickly, and in what amounts, you inhale and exhale air
  
• Stress testing: a diagnostic tool doctors can use to measure heart performance during increased physical activity, such as being on a treadmill

Our cardiopulmonary offerings include a full range of therapeutic and diagnostic inpatient and outpatient treatments, such as:

• Bronchodilator therapy
• Chest physiotherapy
• Mechanical ventilation

If you need access to other types of heart care services, we make it convenient through our HCA Florida Healthcare family of hospitals across the state.
