Cardiac Testing and Procedures

Cardiac Test Locations:                                    

• Echocardiography is done in the Cardiovascular Center on the first floor of the hospital. 
• The Cardiovascular Center is equipped with a Tilt Table for Tilt Testing. DC Cardioversions are also done in the Cardiovascular Center.    
• The Cardiac MRI and CTA are performed in the Radiology Department on the first floor of the University Hospital. The CTA can also be done on the 3rd floor of the Huntsman Cancer Hospital or the CAMT building located in Research Park.
• The cath lab is located on the 4th floor of the University of Utah Hospital. It has three cath suites that are fully equipted with the latest technology.

Non Invasive Testing:                          

• VO2 uptake test
• Echocardiograms 
• Transesophageal echo (TEE)             
• Exercise treadmill test (ECG)
• Treadmill stress echo                      
• Dobutamine stress echo
• Myocardial profusion scan (Adenosine sestimibi, Treadmill sestimibi and Dobutamine sestimibi) Cardiolite stress test
• Viability stress test
• Multiple Gated Aquisition Scan (MUGA)
• Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 
• Coronary Computed Tomography Angio (CTA)  
• Electrogardiogram (ECG ) Signal-averaged ECG 
• Holter monitor 
• Event monitor

Procedures done in Cath Lab:

• Heart Catheterization/Coronary Angiogram

• Electrophysiology study (EPS)
• Pacemaker implant 
• Itracardiac defribillators (ICD) 
• Cardiac resynchronization therapy
• (CRT-D implant for biventricular pacing)
• Pacemaker or ICD generator change 
• Loop Recorder implant 
• Lead extractions

Noninvasive Procedures:
