In addition to a leading-edge heart
surgery program, Southeast Missouri Hospital’s
Regional Heart Center includes a Cardiovascular
Services Department that offers a myriad of cardiac
diagnostic and treatment options.
The department features three fully-equipped
Cardiac Catheterization Labs for the diagnosis
and treatment of heart disease. |
|
The Cath Lab suite consists of
a four-bed pre-procedure area staffed by RNs and
technicians who care for patients immediately
before and after procedures. In the Cath Labs
themselves, cardiologists are assisted by an extensively-trained
and experienced staff of RNs and technicians.

| Our Cardiac Catheterization Lab
procedures include:
- Angioplasty
- Balloon Angioplasty
- Balloon Valvuloplasty
- Stent Implantations
- Laser Angioplasty
- Coronary Atherectomy
- Pacemaker Implantation

| An adjunct to the Cardiac Catheterization
Labs is the Hospital’s nationally-accredited
Cardiovascular Diagnostic Services area with its
full range of cardiac diagnostic testing services:

| Southeast’s Cath Lab is
also home to the Hospital’s Electrophysiology
Service. Electrophysiology studies may include
a three-dimensional “mapping” study
of the heart to help pinpoint the origin of arrhythmias. |
