Outpatient Cardiac Stress Testing
A Cardiac Stress Test is useful in diagnosing heart disease, which is a narrowing within the arteries of the heart caused by plaque. It is important for your heart muscle to receive blood flow and oxygen through these arteries. Stress tests can help your doctor determine how well your heart manages exercise or “stress.”
Outpatient Heart and Blood Pressure Monitoring
Ste. Genevieve County Memorial Hospital offers a variety of monitoring services which include:
- Three to Seven Day Holter Monitoring
- Mobile Telemetry/Event Monitoring
- 24 hour Blood Pressure Monitoring
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac Rehabilitation or Cardiac Rehab is a comprehensive, medically-supervised, hospital-based outpatient program for persons of all ages with heart disease including heart attack, heart surgery, stent placement, stable angina (chest pain) or heart failure.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, in operation since 1991, is designed to help participants do what others take for granted - breathe freely. Each individual is unique. That is why a rehabilitation program that can identify and meet your specific needs, is best.
Adult Fitness Program
A hospital-based, outpatient service for adults who desire to engage in a supervised exercise program and who are interested in a healthy lifestyle and adult fitness. Heart failure patients, those with Peripheral Vascular (PVD)/Arterial Disease (PAD), coronary artery disease and diabetes can benefit from participation in this program.
