Echocardiography
Cardiovascular Associates of Charlottesville now offers in-office echocardiography with the installation of a new, state-of-the-art digital echocardiography system. We are now able to offer our patients a complete non-invasive evaluation of the heart, including valvular function, assessment of ventricular function, as well as stress echo to evaluate for coronary artery disease.

Nuclear Cardiology
Cardiovascular Associates of Charlottesville now offers in-office stress testing with nuclear imaging. This safe, non-invasive test is an excellent means of evaluating for ischemia and diagnosing coronary artery disease. In addition, exercise tolerance, cardiac function and previous infarct status can be evaluated. Individuals with multiple cardiac risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of coronary artery disease may benefit from a nuclear cardiology stress test. With the area's only upright imaging acquisition station, increased patient comfort is obtained during the test. Contact our office for scheduling. A written order from your physician is all that is required.
