Services
Stress Testing
Stress testing evaluates heart performance under physical exertion to detect coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, or exercise-induced symptoms. We offer treadmill ECG, stress echocardiograms, and nuclear stress tests using advanced imaging technology. These non-invasive procedures assess blood flow, heart rhythm, and cardiovascular function for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning.
Vascular Testing
Vascular testing assesses arterial and venous function to detect conditions like peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, and carotid artery stenosis. Our non-invasive procedures include carotid duplex ultrasound, ankle-brachial index testing, and venous reflux exams. These tests support early intervention and tailored treatment plans for optimal long-term outcomes.
Heart Catheterization
Heart catheterization diagnoses and treats heart conditions by visualizing coronary arteries and assessing heart function. A catheter is inserted into a blood vessel and guided to the heart with contrast dye for X-ray imaging. This procedure identifies blockages and determines treatment needs, such as stents or surgery, under local anesthesia.
TAVR
TAVR is a minimally invasive aortic valve replacement for patients with aortic stenosis. A new valve is delivered via catheter through a small incision in the leg or chest. This procedure offers quicker recovery and reduced hospital stays compared to open-heart surgery, ideal for high-risk patients.
Echocardiogram
Echocardiograms use ultrasound to create real-time images of the heart's structure and function. This test evaluates chambers, valves, and blood flow to diagnose conditions like heart valve disease or heart failure. It is safe, painless, and provides critical data for treatment decisions.

This was the best visit I've ever had with Cardiology Physicians in Delaware. My doctor was very engaging with me where I felt like a friend as well as a patient. This was "top notch" in every way!

Report
The service was great, the stress test was well managed. We had surgery scheduled the next day, and needed to send the results stat. They sent the results via the "electronic system that gets a lot of failed sends." They are sending faxes that are vital via a system that often fails. Our scheduled surgery did not go as planned due to a process they obviously know doesn't work.

My husband had an appointment for 845am. When we arrived, he was told that his appointment had been cancelled and rescheduled because the NP wasn't in. NO ONE bothered to call us. I took time off of work [without pay] to accompany him to the office. We may have to change doctors!

PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS PRACTICE FOR YOUR CARDIOLOGY NEEDS! They are a disservice to the ENTIRE STATE of DELWARE. I had an initial appointment with Dr. Leidig, I waited over an hour to be seen and unfortunately I had to leave prior to being seen due to the long wait. There are too many cardiologists within one practice and they attempt to fit as many patients into the schedule, which is not ideal and unrealistic. I WILL NOT be returning to this practice. It's my advice that you seek out another practice for your cardiology needs or be prepared for a 1-2 hour wait.
