State-of-the-art is just the beginning

Welcome to the future of heart care. Brainerd Lakes Heart & Vascular Center offers facilities and equipment that meet the standards of tomorrow.

In addition to brand new facilities that are comfortable and welcoming, the Center offers patients industry-leading heart care technology, including:

Cardiovascular Ultrasound

An advanced Ultrasound system—the Vivid E9 echocardiography scanner—gives clinicians a 4D point of view of a patient's heart along with the ability to take specialized measurements of the heart's function. The scanner is considered 4D because physicians can view a three dimensional picture of a beating heart, with time adding a fourth dimension. The Ultrasound system allows physicians to:

• Capture images of the heart from multiple viewing angles simultaneously, resulting in accurate information in fewer steps
• Shorten exam times and increase diagnostic information obtained from each patient
• Detect and diagnose subtle heart conditions

Cardiac X-ray

Fully digital X-ray system lets physicians capture and view detailed images of patients' coronary structures to facilitate faster and more accurate diagnoses and treatments of cardiac disease. Additional benefits include:

• Less radiation than some systems
• Compact design allows physicians easier access to patients
• Outstanding image quality for enhanced diagnostic results
