Early Detection

Diagnosing heart disease early in its development can give you a better shot at successful treatment and recovery. Not only can early detection give you a leg up on lifestyle changes that can shape the course of your disease, you also have more treatment options to choose from in the beginning stages. The Heart Institute at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center offers the latest technology in diagnosing and evaluating heart disease at every stage.

Echocardiography

Echocardiography uses sound waves to create a moving picture of blood flow in your heart. The Heart Institute offers transthoracic ( TTE ); transesophageal ( TEE ) and stress. The TEE is most commonly used because it provides the clearest view of the heart.

During TEE, cardiologists lower a small probe into your esophagus, which lies right behind your heart. The probe, equipped with a special imaging tool, gives cardiologists a clear picture of the entire heart, from front to back.

Stress echocardiograms allow your doctor to see what changes occur in your heart when you walk on a treadmill or exercise on a stationary bike. This gives information about how your heart performs when it has to work harder. The Heart Institute offers a full array of stress testing services at both our Atlantic City and Mainland campuses, as well as at our Cardiac Diagnostic office at the AtlantiCare Health Park in Egg Harbor Township.
