Fort Hamilton Hospital offers sophisticated technology and an expert, experienced, caring staff to keep your heart healthy and intervene when illness strikes.

We offer diagnostic services ranging from the simplest to the most sophisticated, invasive and noninvasive - from electrocardiogram (EKG) to cardiac catheterization - it's all here to meet your needs. Examples of tests we can provide include:

• Electrocardiogram
• Echocardiogram
• Cardiac stress testing
• Holter monitoring
• Cardiac event monitoring
• Vascular studies
• Bypass graft studies
• Coronary angiography 
• Right and left heart catheterizations.

Cardiovascular treatment options available at Fort Hamilton Hospital include:

• Pacemaker insertion
• Coronary angioplasty (using a balloon to open a clogged artery)
• Stent placement (placing a small device within the coronary artery to hold it open) Interventional radiology
• Peripheral vascular interventions.

Our high tech CT scanner represents a revolution in CT scanning; it is the first CT scanner to give physicians the ability to perform a complete coronary angiogram within five heartbeats, for a quick and accurate assessment when chest pain occurs. We also have a new MRI that is able to produce improved cardiac imaging, which is instrumental in diagnosing cardiac disease.

We realize that technology alone doesn’t ensure positive outcomes -- you also need highly trained physicians who specialize in diagnosing cardiac problems and performing cardiac procedures. To this end, Fort Hamilton Hospital provides cardiologists skilled in diagnosis and treatment, providing our patients with high quality cardiac care close to home.
