Cardiopulmonary
McKenzie Health System’s Cardiopulmonary Department offers therapy and treatment to
patients of all ages who have heart or lung conditions such as heart disease, asthma, chronic
bronchitis, emphysema or cystic fibrosis.
Cardiopulmonary Services can also benefit patients with other illnesses or injuries that decrease
their heart or lung capacity. The hospital’s team of respiratory therapists collaborates with
other medical specialists to ensure the best therapy and treatments are available to patients.
Varieties of diagnostic tests are available to evaluate heart and lung performance, including:
- Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG)
- Holter monitoring
- Pulmonary Function tests
- Stress testing
