Pacemaker A pacemaker is inserted and leads run from the pacemaker to your heart. This device helps regulate your heart beat by ensuring that your heart is beating consistently. Here at the Chattanooga Heart Institute we offer a variety of services including a Cardiac Risk Assessment. This screening takes approximately 20 minutes and includes a blood pressure check, 12-lead EKG, body composition analysis and blood work to check total cholesterol level. We ask you to complete a brief profile regarding family history, lifestyle, and diet that helps in determining your risk of developing heart disease.
Results are available and mailed in one to two weeks.
However, if the results are abnormal our staff will contact you as soon as possible.
