Do you know the No.1 killer of women? It is heart disease. The Heart and Vascular Center at Nashville General Hospital offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary program for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases.
Our staff includes community-based, board-certified or board-eligible cardiologists, vascular surgeons and specially nurses, nurse practitioners, and other support staff. We offer patients the ability to be seen in a clinic setting and have diagnostic cardiology and peripheral screening and testing performed in one location with the same physician and staff.
Cardiac service line includes: ECG’s, Holter monitors, event recorders, stress testing, echocardiograms and diagnostic catheterizations are available. The diagnostic catheterization procedure allows patients who need stent placement or interventional cardiology procedures to be performed on the same day of diagnosis.
