Trust your heart to the first accredited Chest Pain Center in Texarkana. With a Non-Invasive Cardiology Lab, two Digital Cardiac Catheterization Labs, Cardiac Telemetry Unit, Intensive Care Unit, we offer a comprehensive program to meet your cardiac needs.

Advanced Cardiology Services & Rehabilitation Treatments
 

Interventional Cardiology

Our program is dedicated to the non-surgical management of patients with cardiac and peripheral vascular disorders. First, a cardiac catheterization is performed that allows the doctor to see the blood vessels, valves, and chambers on a TV screen. An interventional procedure starts out in the same way as a diagnostic cardiac catheterization. Once the catheter engages the artery with the blockage, the doctor will perform the interventional procedure.

Cardiopulmonary

The Cardiopulmonary Department provides both diagnostic services, and therapeutic services, treating a patient population from newborn to geriatrics. Our services are available as an inpatient or outpatient and in the emergency department as well. Our department utilizes the Drager Ventilator, the most patient friendly, state-of-the art ventilator available in Texarkana and only available at Wadley.

Wadley Regional Medical Center is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that can produce clear, detailed views of the human heart and help doctors detect heart disease with pinpoint accuracy. Our advanced diagnostic testing capabilities include:

  • EKG/Echocardiogram
  • X-rays
  • CT scans
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Stress testing
  • Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
  • Pacemakers, including biventricular pacemakers

 

Cardiac Rehabilitation

Our highly skilled physicians prescribe individualized exercise training, education and nutritional support over various phases of the program. There are several evidence-based benefits of cardiac rehabilitation, including:

  • Improves quality of life and psychosocial well-being
  • Helps reduce stress, fear and anxiety
  • Lowers blood pressure
  • Improves cholesterol and helps with weight loss
  • Decreases risk of recurrence of heart problems and reduces mortality
  • Increased muscle tone and strength

    What you know could save your life. Man Up & Become Heart Smart “Many men think their symptoms are a sign of something else, like heartburn, so they do nothing,” says Peter Ofman, MD, a Steward cardiologist. “Even a man who already had a prior heart attack may not recognize his symptoms, as each attack can be dramatically different.”
    Heart Attack Information Heart Attack Information: What you know could save your life! There are often warning signs leading up to a heart attack that people often ignore. Approximately 50% of people have symptoms within the two weeks preceding a heart attack. Through early recognition of symptoms and controlling risk factors, heart attacks can be prevented. Recognize ALL the signs!
