Stress Test and Hemodynamics

A stress assesses heart function under exertion, detection blood flow issues not apparent at rest. It involves exercise or medication to simulate activity while monitoring heart rhythm, blood pressure, and breathing, offering vital insights into heart health.

Cardiac Catheterization

Cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to assess heart function, identify problems, and determine the cause of symptoms like chest pain. It provides a detialed view, helping doctors evaluate performace and identify issues needing treatment.

Cardiac Imaging

MPI is a non-invasive imaging test that evaluates blood flow and heart muscle function. Also called a nuclear stress test, it identifies areas with insufficient blood flow and provides key insights into heart health.

Research And Education

The HIC weekly clinical conference, held every Tuesday in three formats, brings clinicians together to analyse case studies, share research, and discuss journals. This collaboratiive forum keeps the team updated on the latest indicators, tests and procedures locally and globally

The treatment that I have received from Dr. Madu and Dr. Tulloch Reid was phenomenal. The one on one treatment, they understood my fear from being away from my family, my country and they did everything to keep me calm and to understand what was happening with me. It was that care that I received, that made me make the decision to have an open heart surgery here in Jamaica. I am ever so grateful to HIC, if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t be here today.
