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.
