Lewiston – Maine Cardiology Associates has been granted accreditation by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories in recognition of the high quality of the diagnostic testing and patient care at its outpatient labs in Lewiston and Portland.
Maine Cardiology Associates is the only nationally accredited outpatient lab in Maine performing nuclear cardiology testing, a noninvasive procedure during which the heart is evaluated at rest and during exercise using a small amount of radioisotope, allowing a physician to detect the presence of cardiovascular disease. It is a complex imaging technique requiring extensive experience and training of both physician and technologist.
Approximately 5.5 million stress nuclear cardiology studies are performed each year in the U.S.
The physicians and staff of Maine Cardiology Associates, a professional association established in 1976, work as a team to provide high quality, state-of-the-art care. Our cardiologists specialize in all cardiac diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, and are available to care for patients in an office or hospital setting.
Each Maine Cardiology physician is a board-certified heart specialist, trained in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the heart and circulatory system. Maine Cardiology has been selected to participate in investigations that advance knowledge and improve treatment for patients with heart disease.
