Cardiology

Bothwell Regional Health Center offers a wide range of cardiovascular treatment services and diagnostic testing. Cardiovascular refers to the heart (cardio) and the blood vessels (vascular). The cardiovascular system includes arteries, veins, arterioles and capillaries.

Bothwell has the area’s only cardiac cath lab, which allows specialty physicians to treat you close to home. The cath lab enables cardiologist specialists to perform cardiac catheterization to check the heart and coronary arteries for blood flow, blood pressure in the chambers of the heart, find out how well the heart valves work and check for defects in the way the wall of the heart moves. These tests can help determine the best treatment for each patient. In addition, our cardiologist performs cardiac surgeries including the insertion of pacemakers and defibrillators.
