Non-Invasive Cardiology Baylor Jack and Jane Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital offers a comprehensive range of non-invasive methods and technologies to diagnose heart disease guided by physicians on the medical staff. In fact, a physician on the medical staff has and continues to contribute to the development of national practice guidelines for cardiac echocardiography as well as program accreditation standards. In research, the echocardiography labs have served as a Core Lab supporting a wide variety of research trials. In one trial, our labs provided echocardiographic findings for inclusion into a trial using a transcatheter approach to repair heart valves, along with intraprocedural guidance and post-procedure follow-up imaging. The echocardiolography labs are recognized and accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiographic Laboratories (ICAEL), respectively. Accreditation indicates that the facility performing exams is dedicated to quality diagnostic testing for heart and vascular disease.
