Cardiology is the
medical study of the
structure, functions,
and disorders of the
heart. A cardiologist is
a physician who
specializes in treating
heart disorders. It is
very important for
patients and families to
understand the
importance of
prevention, diagnosis,
and treatment of heart
disease. Cardiac (Heart)
Services offered at RCHC
include cardiac rehab,
holter monitoring,
cardiac nuclear stress
testing,
electrocardiograms
(EKG), Echocardiograms,
vascular ultrasounds,
and cardiology clinics.
Being heart smart can
lead to a healthy heart
and help improve your
overall health.

abnormal heart rhythms, syncopal episodes (black
out spells), and cardiac
arrest. Dr. Miller has
completed research and
has been published in
professional journals on
this topic.
