In addition to a leading-edge heart surgery program, Southeast Missouri Hospital's Regional Heart Hospital includes a Cardiovascular Services Department that offers a myriad of Cardiac Diagnostic and treatment options.
The department features three fully-equipped Cardiac Catheterization Labs and one Electrophysiology Lab for the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. |

The Cath Lab suite consists of a six-bed pre-procedure area staffed by RNs and technicians who care for patients immediately before and after procedures. In the Cath Labs themselves, cardiologists are assisted by an extensively-trained and experienced staff of RNs and technicians.

also home to the Hospital’s Electrophysiology
Service. Electrophysiology studies may include
a three-dimensional “mapping” study
of the heart to help pinpoint the origin of arrhythmias. |
