Echocardiograms

Ultrasound imaging that shows your heart in motion to assess chambers, valves, structure, and pumping function. Results are interpreted by a cardiologist and shared with your ordering provider.

Patient note: Testing is available for patients over 12, adults, and adults with pre-approved congenital heart defects. Patients under 12 or those with complex congenital defects may need a referral to a pediatric cardiologist.

Electrocardiograms (ECG/EKG) With Interpretation

Records your heart’s electrical activity using electrodes placed on the chest, arms, and legs. A cardiologist interprets results and shares them with your ordering provider.

Holter and Event Heart Monitors With Interpretation

Wearable monitors that track your heart’s electrical activity. Holter records continuously for 24, 48, or 72 hours. Event monitors record when activated or when an irregular rhythm is detected. Results are interpreted by a cardiologist and shared with your ordering provider.

Stress Echocardiograms

Compares ultrasound images at rest and under stress while your EKG is monitored. You may exercise on a treadmill or receive medication if you cannot exercise. A cardiologist interprets results.

Transesophageal Echocardiograms (TEE)

Done with sedation. A probe is guided down the throat to capture detailed images from the esophagus for clearer views of valves and heart structures. A cardiologist interprets results.
Note: This procedure is performed on adult patients.

Exercise or Treadmill Stress Testing

Shows how your heart responds to activity while your EKG, heart rate, and blood pressure are monitored as you work toward a target heart rate. A cardiologist interprets results and shares them with your ordering provider.

Nuclear Medicine Stress Testing

Uses an IV tracer and imaging to show blood flow through the heart at rest and during stress.
Note: Mahaska Health currently uses surrounding facilities to perform these exams for our patients.

Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Scoring Test

CT imaging that measures calcium in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. The score can help estimate heart attack risk and guide treatment decisions.

Vascular Diagnostic Exams

Noninvasive ultrasound exams that evaluate blood flow in arteries and veins to help assess circulation and vessel health.

Vascular testing options may include:

Ankle Brachial Indexes (ABIs)
Segmental Pressure Studies (Segs)
Carotid Duplex
Aortic Duplex
Renal Artery Duplex
SMA/Celiac Duplex
Iliac Artery Duplex
AAA Medicare Screening
Upper Extremity Venous Duplex
Lower Extremity Venous Duplex
Upper Extremity Arterial Duplex
Lower Extremity Arterial Duplex
