Imaging and Diagnostic Testing

Your doctor has determined that you should see a cardiologist, and is sending you to the heart specialists at the Minneapolis Heart Institute. MHI physicians perform clinical cardiology consultation, as well as the full spectrum of non-invasive cardiovascular diagnostic procedures on the Abbott Northwestern Hospital campus in south Minneapolis, at other Metro-area sites and in several Minnesota communities outside the Twin Cities.

MHI physicians perform the full spectrum of cardiovascular imaging and diagnostics testing. Click on your specific test to learn about procedural information about, before, during and after your test or procedure.  If testing reveals a problem with your heart, we call upon the expertise of the interventional cardiologists and other partners in heart disease treatment and management at the Minneapolis Heart Institute. All interventional cardiovascular procedures and surgeries are performed by MHI physicians and heart specialists at Abbott Northwestern Hospital.

Coronary artery disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the developed world.  By measuring the amount of calcium that builds up in the coronary arteries, so called "hardening" of the arteries, Electron Beam CT (EBCT) predicts the likelihood of subsequent cardiovascular events in people with no symptoms.
