Other Services Dr. Chauhan Provides Patients Are:
Peripheral Vascular StudiesPeripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition that leads to a decrease of blood flow to the arms and legs.
Carotid UltrasoundCarotid ultrasound is done to detect plaque buildup in one or both of the carotid arteries in the neck and to see whether the buildup is narrowing your carotid arteries and blocking blood flow to the brain.
Cardiac Angiography & AngioplastyCoronary angiography is a procedure that uses contrast dye, usually containing iodine, and x ray pictures to detect blockages in the coronary arteries that are caused by plaque buildup.
Renal Angiography & AngioplastyAn angiogram is used to have a closer look at the blood supply to your kidneys.
The blood is carried into the kidneys by the renal arteries. If these arteries become narrowed by a build up of plaque, the blood supply to the kidneys becomes increasingly restricted.
Peripheral Angiography & AngioplastyAngioplasty is a procedure to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to your legs. Fatty deposits can build up inside the arteries and block blood flow.
Holter MonitorA Holter monitor is a battery-operated portable device that measures and records your heart’s activity (ECG) continuously for 24 to 48 hours or longer depending on the type of monitoring used.
Exercise Stress TestingA stress test, sometimes called a treadmill test or exercise test, helps a doctor find out how well your heart handles work.
EchocardiogramAn echocardiogram (echo) is a test that uses high frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to make pictures of your heart.
Nuclear stress testingA Nuclear stress test is an imaging method that uses radioactive material to show how well blood flows into the heart muscle, both at rest and during activity.
Coronary Artery StentingStents help keep coronary arteries open and reduce the chance of a heart attack.
Coronary Bypass Artery StentingRevascularization means that areas of significant obstruction in the coronary arteries are relieved with either angioplasty and a stent, or with bypass surgery (also called coronary artery bypass grafting, or CABG).
