Sleep Apnea
Lapses in oxygen intake, like what happens when you have sleep apnea, can put extra stress on your heart.
Fatigue
Extreme exhaustion or unexplained weakness are common symptoms of a heart attack, especially in women.
Swollen Feet and Ankles
When your ticker can’t pump fast enough, blood backs up in the veins causing bloating.

your risk of heart attack increases.
Smoking is a major
(and preventable) cause of heart attack.
High cholesterol and blood pressure levels
put stress on your cardiovascular system.

Patient Story: Jackson Ellisor
Jackson Ellisor was suggested to have bypass surgery after being diagnosed with a left bundle block. The thought of open heart surgery was scary, so he sought out a 2nd opinion.
How Does Nuclear Cardiac Imaging Help Patients:
Patient Story: Rochelle Lee
Imagine being told your heart was only functioning at 20 percent from a blockage, but that you didn’t need to have open heart surgery to fix it.
Patient Story: Mark Nelson
Mark Nelson was living a healthy and active lifestyle when he suddenly experienced heart failure. After gaining nearly 50 pounds of water weight and with his heart failing, Mark was transferred to Ochsner to see if a new heart could be found to save his life.
