Heart Center Tests and Programs

The UPMC Chautauqua Heart Center boasts a full range of tests and treatments, including:

  • Heart catheterizations. Doctors place a long, thin tube into a blood vessel and then guide it to the heart. Once in place, they inject a contrast dye through the tube. Then, they take x-rays to check the heart's arteries, valves, and muscle function.
  • Cardiac rehab. Our complete rehab program offers instruction and support to those healing from a heart attack or other heart or blood vessel problem. Our team of experts teaches you how to manage your lifestyle to promote healthy habits and prevent further heart disease.
  • Echocardiogram. An echo test uses sound waves to create a picture of the heart. The pictures let your doctor check your heart valves, see how well they function, and detect problems.
  • Nuclear stress test. This noninvasive imaging test uses advanced technology to detect coronary artery disease by assessing the heart's circulation.
