Non-invasive imaging has been one of Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute’s vanguard programs since its inception. The Noninvasive Cardiovascular Laboratory provides a comprehensive set of patient services, and functions as a cardiovascular diagnostic center for inpatients and outpatients, performing echocardiography, dobutamine stress echo, exercise stress echo, exercise treadmill, transesophageal echo, nuclear stress testing, cardiopulmonary stress testing, cardiac and vascular C-T, and vascular ultrasound. Our physicians provide immediate interpretation for all cardiovascular studies. The Ochsner Heart & Vascular Center in Metairie also has a full-range of non-invasive cardiac and vascular diagnostic services.
