At SEARHC, we’re dedicated to providing comprehensive cardiology services tailored to a patient’s unique needs. With a team of experienced cardiologists and state-of-the-art technology, we ensure patients receive the highest standard of care from evaluation to diagnosis, treatment, and personalized, ongoing therapy recommendations. The cardiology team at SEARHC is here to guide patients through every stage of their cardiac care journey.

Cardiologists specialize in assessing and treating conditions of the cardiovascular system, including the heart and blood vessels. If your primary care physician detects a potential cardiovascular concern, you may be referred to a cardiologist for more detailed evaluation. A cardiologist will then perform tests to help assess any potential problems related to your heart, arteries and veins and subsequently develop a care plan.

Contact our care team to directly request an appointment with one of our cardiologists or to visit your primary care provider to discuss your needs and request a referral.

Our Services

At SEARHC, patients have access to a suite of non-invasive cardiac tests and technologies to evaluate their heart health. Our expert team interprets and, when necessary, conducts and supervises these tests to provide you with the most accurate assessment of your cardiovascular system. Our services include:

• Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG): Using leads attached to the skin, we capture the electrical activity of your heart, detecting subtle changes that may help to diagnose irregularities or abnormalities.
• Echocardiogram (Echo/ECC/ECO): Through ultrasound imaging, we capture videos and pictures of the heart to efficiently assess its anatomy and function, including the thickness of cardiac walls, valve function, and blood flow.
• Stress Echocardiograms: By precisely administering medication to simulate exercise while closely monitoring your heart’s response, we enable detailed tracing and analysis of heart function. Currently available in Sitka.
• Treadmill Stress Tests: Our comprehensive stress tests help evaluate your heart’s electrical activity during exertion, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Cardiac Risk Assessment with Calcium Scoring: Utilizing advanced imaging techniques such as Computed Tomography (CT), we evaluate your cardiac risk profile by measuring calcium deposits in your coronary arteries to help identify potential disease and discuss preventative measures.
• At-Home Cardiac Event Monitoring: Our at-home monitoring solutions provide continuous observation and timely intervention to help patients monitor their heart health from the comfort and convenience of their home.
• Implantable Device Coordination: For patients with implantable devices such as pacemakers, biventricular pacers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and similar devices, SEARHC provides thorough monitoring, comprehensive coordination and follow-up care. Our experienced team ensures seamless communication with device manufacturers and adjusts these devices as necessary to optimize function and cardiac health.
