At Norman Regional Health System, our cardiovascular imaging services are
designed to provide fast, accurate diagnoses and support comprehensive
heart care. Whether you're managing heart disease, monitoring vascular
conditions, or assessing symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath,
our imaging specialists are here to help.
We offer advanced, non-invasive heart and vascular imaging at both at the
Heart Plaza and Norman Regional Hospital, ensuring convenient access to
leading-edge technology and experienced cardiovascular teams.
Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE):A non-invasive ultrasound that uses sound waves to create images of the
heart, allowing providers to evaluate heart function, structure, and valve
performance.
Exercise Stress Echocardiogram:Combines ultrasound imaging with physical exercise to assess how the heart
responds to exertion and detect reduced blood flow or blockages.
Carotid Ultrasound: A painless test that uses sound waves to examine the carotid arteries in
the neck and detect narrowing or blockages that may increase stroke risk.
Venous Ultrasound: Evaluates the veins in the legs or arms to detect blood clots or deep vein
thrombosis (DVT).
Venous Insufficiency Ultrasound: Assesses for venous reflux disease by measuring how well blood flows through
the leg veins and if it’s pooling due to faulty valves.
Venous Mapping Ultrasound for CABG Graft Selection: Maps the veins, typically in the legs, to determine their suitability for
use in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Arterial Ultrasound:Uses sound waves to visualize arteries and assess blood flow, identifying
blockages, narrowing, or aneurysms.
Renal Artery Ultrasound: Evaluates the arteries supplying blood to the kidneys and can detect narrowing
that may cause or worsen high blood pressure.
Abdominal Aorta Ultrasound: Screens for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) by visualizing the size and
shape of the abdominal aorta.
Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE):An advanced ultrasound performed through the esophagus to provide clearer
images of the heart’s structures, especially useful for evaluating
valves and detecting blood clots.
Dobutamine Stress Echocardiogram:Uses a medication called dobutamine to stimulate the heart, simulating
exercise for patients unable to physically exert themselves during a stress test.
Pediatric Transthoracic Echocardiogram:A heart ultrasound tailored for children to evaluate congenital heart conditions
and overall heart health.
Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (Treadmill or Pharmacological Stress): A nuclear imaging test that shows how well blood flows to the heart muscle
at rest and during stress, helping identify coronary artery disease.
Nuclear Medicine Amyloid Imaging:A specialized scan used to detect cardiac amyloidosis, a buildup of abnormal
protein in the heart muscle, often linked to heart failure.
Resting Gated Nuclear Ventriculogram (MUGA or RNVG):Measures how well the heart’s ventricles pump blood and calculates
the ejection fraction to monitor heart function.
Exercise Stress Test (ETT or GXT):A treadmill-based test that monitors heart rhythm, blood pressure, and
symptoms to evaluate cardiovascular fitness and detect heart issues.
Coronary CTA (CT Angiography): A specialized CT scan that visualizes the coronary arteries to detect blockages
or narrowing without the need for catheterization.
CT Cardiac Scoring (Heart Scan): A non-invasive CT test that measures calcium deposits in coronary arteries,
helping predict heart disease risk.
Cardiac Ultrasound:A general ultrasound assessment of the heart to evaluate structure, function,
and blood flow.
Heart Plaza Cardiovascular Imaging Services
Located at our dedicated outpatient heart center, Heart Plaza offers a
wide range of cardiovascular imaging services in a comfortable, accessible setting.
Cardiovascular Ultrasound
Our ultrasound services use high-frequency sound waves to create detailed
images of the heart and blood vessels, helping providers detect structural
abnormalities and monitor blood flow.
