When you need heart care, trust the experienced cardiologists, surgeons, and vascular specialists at Antelope Valley Medical Center. For more than 70 years, we've been the Antelope Valley's trusted healthcare provider—caring for every patient, regardless of ability to pay.

Located near our Emergency Department, the IHVC brings expert diagnosis, treatment, and surgery together under one roof.
Diagnosing Your Heart Condition
Getting the right diagnosis is the first step to better heart health. Our team uses advanced imaging technology to quickly and accurately identify heart problems. We offer both noninvasive tests and more detailed studies when needed.
Our cardiovascular diagnostic procedures include:
- Echocardiography (ultrasound of your heart)
- Stress Testing
- Cardiac Nuclear Testing
- Vascular Ultrasound
- Computed Tomography and Angiography
- Cardiac and Peripheral angiography
- Electrophysiology Studies
Our three cardiac catheterization laboratories provide high-resolution images of your heart and blood vessels, enabling us to diagnose conditions such as arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, valve problems, and other heart conditions. Once we understand your condition, we'll explain your treatment options in clear terms you can understand.
Take Control of Your Heart Health
Prevention is powerful. Use the American Heart Association's Cardiovascular Risk Calculator with your healthcare provider to understand your risk of developing heart disease. This tool calculates your 10-year and lifetime heart disease risk, helping you and your doctor create a plan to protect your heart through lifestyle changes or medications.
Ready to get the heart care you deserve? Contact your primary care physician or cardiologist for a consultation. We will be here for every heart, every family, every day.
