Cardiac Exams
Get state-of-the-art cardiac exams at Salem Hospital
Cardiac exams are critical for diagnosing cardiac conditions. State-of-the-art cardiac exams are available at the top-rated Heart Center at Salem Hospital, a member of Mass General Brigham.
Our comprehensive range of cardiac evaluation services includes:
- Stress tests: cardiac exams that measure the reaction of the heart to an increase in demand for oxygen.
- Cardiac ultrasound exams: these identify the size and functional level of the heart muscle and valves.
- Tilt table exams: help identify why a patient may be experiencing fainting spells by enabling the patient to faint under controlled conditions.
- Holter monitors and event monitors: testing devices that determine whether a patient's heart is experiencing irregular rhythms.
By administering these advanced cardiac exams, our cardiologists and cardiac surgeons get a detailed profile of the heart's function. All cardiac exams are administrated by physicians and clinically trained technicians at our cardiac facilities in Salem and Danvers.
