Cardiology

Adams County Regional Medical Center is proud to offer advanced cardiovascular care in collaboration with UC Health and the University of Cincinnati Heart, Lung & Vascular Institute. Working together, our cardiovascular program offers expert physicians, advanced nurse practitioners and sub-specialty care providers in the fields of preventive/general cardiology, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiopulmonary and vascular health.  

UC Health is nationally known for their discoveries and contributions in cardiovascular and pulmonary research and care, but most importantly, they transform their insights into real treatments that help patients every day. Through their integrated, carefully constructed and patient-centered clinical research programs, they offer our patients the best established and rapidly emerging advanced therapies that are not widely available.

Together, Adams County Regional Medical Center and UC Health offer the full continuum of care for our patients – 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Consultations

• Inpatient units
• Observation units
• Outpatient clinic
• Emergency Department

Telehealth services are also available. Our telehealth programs allow us the option of providing safe and secure healthcare without requiring our patients to leave their community or homes.

Cardiology Clinics

• Outpatient Cardiology Clinic
• Electrophysiology Clinic, focusing on heart rhythm disorders and electro-mechanical interventions

Cardiopulmonary

Our Cardiopulmonary Department offers state-of-the-art inpatient and outpatient care. Our department is staffed by highly trained, dedicated respiratory therapists licensed by the state of Ohio. Under the direction of a physician, they are trained to evaluate, treat, and care for those patients having cardiopulmonary health issues and get them back to the highest level of heart and lung health possible.

In the Cardiopulmonary Department, we treat patients with lung problems such as COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia, and lung cancer. We also provide quality care to cardiac or heart patients, accident victims, pediatric patients, and stroke patients.

We provide the following outpatient services:

• Pulmonary function testing (PFT)
  • A test that shows how well the lungs are working, measuring lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange.

• Heart monitoring via Holter device (24 and 48 hours)
  • A small, battery-powered medical device that measures your heart's activity, such as rate and rhythm.

• Cardiac event monitoring (up to 30 days)
  • A portable device is used to record your heart's electrical activity when symptoms emerge. This device records the same information as an electrocardiogram (ECG), however for longer durations of time.

• Electrocardiogram (EKG)
  • A test that records electrical activity of your heart through electrode patches attached to the chest, arms and legs (skin).

 Imaging

• Echocardiogram (ECHO)
  • A specialized type of ultrasound for your heart, which uses sound waves (ultrasound) to produce images of your heart. An ECHO allows the sonographer to perform a thorough examination of the heart structures, its function, and its blood flow.
    • Available Monday-Thursday

Procedures

• Stress testing (utilizing adenosine, treadmill, and/or nuclear medicine)

• Electrical Cardioversion
  • A procedure in which an electrical shock restores normal sinus rhythm.
