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

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 prepared to evaluate, treat, and care for those patients having cardiopulmonary health issues in an effort to achieve the highest level of heart and lung health possible.

In the Cardiopulmonary Department, we treat patients suffering from 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)

• 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

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

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