- Primary CareMost patients scheduling an appointment with Tyler CVC are referred by their primary care physician. This makes sense: Patients go to their regular doctor when they experience shortness of breath or other symptoms of heart disease. After an examination, a primary care doctor will determine whether those symptoms require additional investigation and tests by a cardiologist. In some instances, patients will call us directly to arrange an appointment. This is known as a self-referral.
- UltrasoundTyler CVC’s expertise in heart care also is due to its on-site equipment. Our imaging center and catheterization lab are equipped with the most medically advanced equipment, allowing Tyler CVC doctors and staff to perform important diagnostic tests and treatments, including the full scope of catheterization procedures, cardiac and vascular ultrasound imaging, nuclear stress testing and the treatment of patients with lower extremity venous disorders. In addition, our partnership with UT Health East Texas and our robust outreach program means that we can effectively treat patients throughout East Texas and many times in their own communities
- MRIThe ETMC Cardiovascular Institute is the first in the region to implant a new cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) that’s safe to use in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner.
