General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  We strive to provide superior service at every level – from diagnosis, treatment and recovery to ongoing “heart health.” If your primary care physician – or a health care provider in an emergency setting – wants to refer you to a cardiologist, you
• Electrocardiogram
  More sensitive than a routine EKG, this procedure evaluates electrical activity during physical exercise and determines the presence and severity of blockages in the arteries. The procedure is used for initial diagnosis, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment programs.

Internists

• Internal Medicine
  Cardiologists must graduate from an approved medical school, must complete an accredited internal medicine residency program of at least three years, and complete a subspecialty clinical education program (fellowship) in cardiology of at least three years. Some cardiologists also complete one-two additional years of subspecialty training in interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, nuclear cardiology or echocardiography.
• Endoscopy

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Using ultrasound waves to create a two-dimensional view of the heart, this non-invasive diagnostic procedure evaluates various structures within the heart. A stress echocardiogram compares the heart’s function during exercise to its function during rest for greater precision in determining whether or not there are blockages in the arteries.
• Radiology
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  Our facility operates a Nuclear Medicine Laboratory and Echocardiography Laboratory, both fully accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC), which provides quality services for patients needing stress echocardiograms and nuclear stress testing. In fact, Cape Fear Cardiology was the first cardiology practice to receive IAC Accreditation in both Nuclear Medicine and Echocardiography in Fayetteville.
