Dr. George Augustine Koromia at Firelands Health is now offering cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) tests as part of new advancements in heart care. This noninvasive scan uses powerful X-rays to provide detailed 3D images of blood vessels in the heart. By detecting narrowing vessels or blockages caused by plaque, CCTA helps identify potential heart problems early for improved treatment outcomes.
In addition to CCTA, Firelands Regional Medical Center now offers Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) to treat patients with severe calcium deposits in their arteries. This procedure, performed by interventional cardiologist W. Scott Sheldon, D.O., utilizes cutting-edge technology to expand the artery before stent placement, enhancing blood flow to the heart.
Dr. Scott Campbell, vice president of medical affairs and chief medical officer at Firelands Health, emphasizes the importance of adopting new and innovative treatments to provide patients with the best possible care. With a dedicated and talented medical staff, Firelands Health continues to offer state-of-the-art procedures and technologies to improve patient outcomes in cardiac care.
