Screening and Diagnostics
Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in the United States. Many people have no symptoms and don't realize they are at risk or already have heart disease. New technology helps identify those at risk. Lifestyle changes, medication and, in some cases, surgical intervention can offer real solutions, enabling most people to lead long, healthy lives.
At Stamford Hospital we offer the most comprehensive screening and diagnostic services available in the region. Regardless of whether you are considering a simple screening, diagnostic testing, or need a more sophisticated preventive or diagnostic procedure in our Cardiac Cathaterization Lab, we are able to provide you the most appropriate and sophisticated care available.
