CHI Saint Joseph Medical Group - Cardiology

Coverage for your cardiology visit depends on your insurance plan. We accept most major insurance plans, but we recommend checking with your insurance company to confirm coverage, copays and any out-of-pocket costs. You can also contact our office for assistance with insurance verification.

You should see a cardiologist if you experience prolonged symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness or heart palpitations, as these could indicate underlying heart issues requiring immediate attention. If you have a family history of heart disease or have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes, consulting a cardiologist is essential for a thorough evaluation and management plan.

Noninvasive heart and vascular tests performed at Saint Joseph Berea include:

• Ankle brachial index (ABI) 
• Carotid duplex 
• Echocardiogram (echo) 
• Nuclear stress test 
• Stress test 
• Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE)

Please bring a list of your current prescriptions (including dosage and how often you take each) or the medications themselves. This helps us get a full picture of your health to provide safe, effective care.

If you require interventional or surgical treatment, we’ll ensure you receive the best referral to one of our CHI Saint Joseph Health facilities in Lexington. After your procedure, you can conveniently schedule follow-up appointments and tests in Berea.
