We also do Coumadin follow-up
Chest pain
Cardiovascular screening in subjects with chest pain or discomfort
We can offer:
Resting electrocardiogram
Clinical examination by our cardiologist
Exercise (stress) test supervised by our cardiologist to evaluate your physical capacity and screen for disease of the heart arteries
diabetes
Diabetes is recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
We can offer:
Resting electrocardiogram to look for previous silent heart attack, thickened heart muscle or other abnormalities
Blood tests targeted to optimal prevention in subjects with diabetes
Exercise stress test to evaluate your physical capacity and screen for disease of the heart arteries
In case of arterial hypertension or its possible presence, we can offer a sophisticated 24h ambulatory monitoring of your blood pressure
to confirm or refute its diagnosis and optimize clinical management
Driver's license / Pilot's license
Renewal of regular / commercial / heavy vehicule license
Subjects with a cardiac condition
Airplane pilot
Helicopter pilot
We can offer:
Appointment without delay; renewal form filled out on the spot
If an exercise stress test is required to obtain your license, this test is performed by the cardiologist within the same appointment
ECHOCARDIOGRAM
The echocardiogram is a test that uses echo or ultrasound to examine the heart, its structures (the heart muscle and valves) and its function.
Sometimes the patient who comes to the clinic would like to pass this test or it's his GP who so wishes.
When the cardiologist assesses the patient, he is able to decide if this test is necessary.
If this is the case, the clinic organizes the appointment to have this test done in a hospital or privately according to the wishes of the patient.

Cardiovascular Screening in Subjects With High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
We can offer:
Resting electrocardiogram to identify possible cardiac complications associated with high blood pressure
We can perform 24h ambulatory monitoring of your blood pressure so that our cardiologist can rapidly optimize clinical management
Our apparatus is sophisticated and reliable
Palpitations / arrhythmias / loss of consciousness
Resting electrocardiogram to check for possible abnormalities
Clinical examination by our cardiologist
We can perform ambulatory arrhythmia monitoring with a sophisticated miniature technology that is easy to wear for several days if necessary (shower permitted)
to identify the type of heartbeat irregularity
We have 2 types of recorders for identifying arrhythmias : the Cardiac Memo and the HOLTER
Cardiac Memo: ideal for identifying what is causing palpitations
HOLTER: an apparatus that is worn by the patient and that records every heartbeat to identify any arrhythmias or the cause of syncope (fainting or loss of consciousness). The usual HOLTER is fairly cumbersome to wear for more than 24 hours.
Our HOLTER system is a new technology (called CardioSTAT) that can be worn easily and comfortably for a whole week. This longer period of recording increases the chances of identifying any significant arrhythmias.
Depending on the specific symptoms and circumstances of each case, the cardiologist is able to determine which is the best test to use.
STRESS TEST
What distinguishes us from several other clinics that offer this test is that we are a cardiology clinic and this is our specialty.
The stress test evaluates your physical capacity as well as your blood pressure and heart rate response to exercise.
The electrocardiogram during exercise is a time-honored means of screening for significant narrowing or blockage of the arteries that feed the heart.
It may also identify arrhythmias on exercise.
The cardiologist supervises each exercise test which is performed in a pleasant and secure environment with state-of-the-art technology with our nurse technician
who has a strong background in cardiac intensive care.
Our cardiologist gives you feedback and recommendations immediately after the test.
Cardiovascular screening
For a cardiovascular evaluation.
If you have any symptoms of pain or discomfort in the chest or palpitations or unusual shortness of breath.
If you are concerned about cholesterol, hypertension or diabetes.
