Advanced Technology
Providing you with the best equipment for the best care
Committed to high quality and superior outcomes, our accredited Heart Center maintains years of specialized clinical experience and is dedicated to caring for patients with skill and compassion. Our Heart Center staff partners with Catawba Valley Cardiology’s providers to deliver a team-oriented approach to patient heart issues, with a high level of technical expertise.



The CVMC Heart Center has become a cornerstone of advanced cardiovascular care in our region. Since opening, it has significantly expanded our ability to diagnose, treat, and manage heart conditions with greater efficiency, precision, and patient-centered care.
​
The center houses our state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology labs, both equipped with the latest technology to support a wide range of life-saving procedures. These larger, modern labs were intentionally designed to accommodate growing patient volumes and to streamline access from the Emergency Department—ensuring timely care for patients experiencing chest pain or cardiac emergencies.
Our invasive and non-invasive diagnostic services are centralized within the Heart Center, improving coordination and enhancing the patient experience. Dedicated prep and recovery bays, including a specialized oversized bay for select non-invasive procedures, support patient safety, comfort, and privacy throughout the entire continuum of care.
The Heart Center also includes thoughtfully designed staff support areas, including secure workspaces, a physician reading room, and dedicated offices for clinical and administrative teams. These areas promote collaboration while maintaining strict privacy and safety standards for patients and staff alike.
​
A dedicated consultation room provides a private, comfortable space for physicians to meet with patients and their families, review visual reports, and discuss individualized care plans. A dedicated waiting area for imaging services ensures patients and loved ones have a welcoming, organized space during their visit.
​
Today, the CVMC Heart Center continues to serve as a hub of cardiovascular excellence—bringing advanced technology, expert care teams, and a coordinated approach to heart health, all under one roof.
