Cardiovascular (Heart) Imaging

Clinical Services: Radiology

Receive Expert Imaging for All Cardiovascular Conditions

The heart is at the center of your circulatory system, which is a network of blood vessels that delivers blood to every part of your body. Blood carries oxygen and other important nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy and function properly. There are many conditions that can damage the heart, and prevent it from functioning as well as possible.

At Weill Cornell Medicine, our compassionate team of cardiac imagers (cardiologists and radiologists) provide diagnostic imaging so that your doctors can understand your cardiovascular health and, if needed, determine the best possible treatment options for any condition. By capturing detailed images, we help you achieve the best possible health and quality of life.

Individualized Imaging for Your Heart Condition

Using the latest technology, our team of highly trained and experienced cardiac imagers will work with your physician to precisely screen, understand and diagnose your specific health concern. After diagnosis, your physician will guide you through the many treatment options and techniques available for your heart conditions.

Using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and molecular imaging, we provide imaging services for:

● Heart disease: A condition that includes the heart and can lead to heart attack, heart failure, irregular heartbeats, or stroke.

● Coronary artery disease: A condition where a buildup of fatty plaque in your arteries causes narrow or blocked blood vessels that can cause chest pain and lead to heart attack.

● Tight heart valves: A condition where one of the heart’s four valves is narrowed, preventing enough blood flow through the valve.

● Leaky heart valves: A condition where one of the heart’s four valves leaks blood backward through the valve.

● Heart defects: Heart defects are structural problems arising from how the heart or major blood vessels were formed before birth.
