Clara Masss is a licensed adult cardiac catheterization facility,
which allows cardiologists to coordinate all aspects of testing
that may contribute to decisions regarding medical management
or cardiovascular surgery referral for heart disease. Tests

studies, 2D Echo with Doppler & Color Flow, stress echocardiograms,
nuclear stress testing and transesophageal echocardiography.
An angioplasty is a procedure in which a small balloon is
inserted to open a blocked artery to restore blood flow to
the heart. Elective angioplasty procedures are now
available at Clara Masss Medical Center through participation
in the Atlantic C-Port Elective
Angioplasty research study in
collaboration with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
A supervised exercise/education program assisting individuals
who have or have had heart attack, stable angina, valve surgery,
coronary artery bypass, congestive heart failure, pacemaker,
or heart transplant is also offered. The program strives
to provide each participant with improvement in cardiovascular
fitness, risk factor reduction, lifestyle modification and
increased confidence to participate in safe daily activities.
Patients and families are provided with education regarding
recognition, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
