What to Expect
East Bay Cardiovascular and Thoracic Associates provides a range of cardiac services, as well as medical services related to the lungs, and chest area on an outpatient basis. Here’s what you can generally expect when you visit our ambulatory center:
- Consultation and Evaluation – Before any procedures, you’ll typically have an initial consultation with a cardiothoracic surgeon or specialist. They will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and discuss your symptoms and treatment options.
- Diagnostic Testing – The center may offer various diagnostic tests, such as electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms, stress tests, or pulmonary function tests, to assess your cardiac or pulmonary health. Modern technology is available in our cardiac, thoracic, and vascular ultrasound labs for accurate diagnosis.
- Preoperative Preparation – If surgery is recommended, you’ll receive instructions on preoperative preparations, including fasting requirements, medications, and any lifestyle changes needed before the procedure.
- Same-Day Surgery – Many cardiothoracic procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you’ll undergo surgery and return home the same day. Common outpatient cardiothoracic procedures include minimally invasive heart surgeries, thoracic surgery for lung conditions, and diagnostic procedures.
- Follow-up Care – Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your recovery and address any concerns or complications. Your healthcare provider will ensure that you’re healing properly and that your treatment plan is effective.
