Information and Testing

At Saint Thomas Heart, we strongly believe that the greater understanding our patients have about their cardiology treatment and care the greater the results will be for them.  We strive to provide the highest level of patient education through one-on-one discussions with our physicians and staff, as well as providing resources for self-education through materials in our office and here on our site.  We will be adding as many resources to our online library as possible.  Please check back often for new information to assist you in understanding your treatment and assist you in healthy preventive measures you can take to ensure a heart-healthy lifestyle
