Cardiac Diagnostic Center

What is the Cardiac Diagnostic Center?

The Cardiac Diagnostic Center (CDC), in conjunction with the Chest Pain Center (CPC), is part of the comprehensive care we at the Shanghai Clinic have arranged to assure your complete cardiac health. For those who have had or have chest pain concerns, the CPC is ready to evaluate your potentially life threatening symptoms. For those without a recent history of chest pain but who otherwise are equally concerned and focused on detecting heart disease and the associated risks factors at an early stage before they become symptomatic, the CDC is poised ready to serve you. Our comprehensive approach affords you a comfortable, efficient means to fully investigate your cardiac health.

Upon entering our state of the art 21,000 sq-ft facility, a physician from our team will perform a thorough history and physical exam and will employ essential laboratory and diagnostic studies squarely focused on the objective of screening for concerning cardiac pathology. The CDC will arrange for you to have a personal cardiac lifestyle evaluation, complete with diet modification, exercise regimen development, smoking cessation, and weight loss management as needed. Any and all concerning findings will be seamlessly pursued with further specialty consultation and diagnostic evaluation as needed.
