Cardiovascular Evaluation
This evaluation will focus on your heart. Our physicians will start with a blood pressure, chest x-ray and an EKG.

Such testing could include: Nuclear Stress Test, Regular Stress Test, Echocardiogram, Carotid Ultrasound, Abdominal Vascular. The above testing is all performed in-house at Seale Harris Clinic so you would not have to go across town to get this testing done.
