Orange County Heart Institute

Advancing What's Possible in Heart Care

Where world-class expertise meets minimally invasive innovation. Orange County Heart Institute is redefining outcomes for structural and valvular heart disease.

Our Story

Founded in 1996, we didn't set out to build a practice. We set out to change outcomes.

Who We Are

Leading the way in early heart disease detection with advanced cardiac imaging.

Orange County Heart Institute was founded on one core belief: patients with complex structural and valvular heart disease deserve the most advanced, least-invasive care close to home. Today, our physicians are recognized leaders in prevention, diagnosis, treatment, education, and rehabilitation. With state-of-the-art imaging and cutting-edge minimally invasive techniques, we remain at the forefront of early detection and advanced cardiac care.

Our services

Advanced Procedures, Minimally Invasive Approaches

Echocardiogram

A cardiac echo, short for echocardiogram, is a non-invasive imaging test that uses ultrasound (sound waves) to create moving pictures of your heart.

Stress Echocardiogram

A stress echocardiogram is a type of echocardiogram that looks at how your heart works when it’s under physical stress (usually exercise).

Learn More

SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Test (Nuclear Scan)

A myocardial perfusion imaging test is a medical scan used to evaluate how well blood flows through your heart muscle (the myocardium).

Learn More

Cardiac PET

A cardiac PET (rubidium) scan is an advanced version of a myocardial perfusion test. It gives very detailed, accurate images of how blood is flowing through your heart—often more precise than traditional nuclear stress tests.

Learn More

Non Invasive Carotid Exam (NICE)

This exam helps detect narrowing (stenosis) of the carotid arteries, plaque buildup (atherosclerosis), and potential risk of stroke.

Learn More

Peripheral Arterial Exam

A peripheral arterial exam is a non-invasive test used to check blood flow in the arteries of your arms and legs—the “peripheral” parts of your body.

Learn More

Peripheral Venous Exam

A peripheral arterial exam  is a non-invasive test used to check blood flow in the arteries of your arms and legs—the “peripheral” parts of your body.

Learn More

Holter Monitor

A Holter monitor is a portable heart-monitoring device that continuously records your heart’s electrical activity (ECG or EKG) over 24–48 hours or longer while you go about your normal daily activities.

Event Monitor

A Holter monitor is a portable heart-monitoring device that continuously records your heart’s electrical activity (ECG or EKG) over 24–48 hours or longer while you go about your normal daily activities.

Early Detection Pioneers

We're Rewriting the Rules of Heart Disease Detection

Our physicians don’t just treat heart disease — they find it before symptoms appear. Using the latest state-of-the-art imaging equipment, including MRI, heart scans, and 64-Slice CT angiography, our diagnostic services are at the forefront of early detection.

Our physicians have been pioneers in early detection of heart disease using EBCT heart scores and 64-slice CT angiography, stress testing, and nuclear cardiology.

"Our physicians are leading the way with new methods in detecting and treating heart disease."
