Out Patient Clinic Q & A
What is an outpatient clinic?
When you have problems with your heart or blood vessels, you need routine monitoring and care. An outpatient clinic offers the services you need, so you don’t have to spend the night or visit the hospital.
To assess heart health and blood vessel function, you may need advanced diagnostic testing. Some cardiology practices send you to an imaging center or hospital to get the needed tests before your visit.
Florida Hearts is a full-service cardiology practice that has an on-site cath center and infusion center. They also have advanced diagnostic tools on-site, including X-rays, electrocardiogram, stress testing, and CT/PET scanners.
These tools and treatments allow the team to assess and treat patients on the same day.
Am I a candidate for the outpatient clinic?
When you visit Florida Hearts for an initial consultation, the team conducts a comprehensive evaluation to establish a diagnosis. If you have a chronic heart or blood vessel condition that requires ongoing medical care and monitoring, then the outpatient clinic may be a convenient choice for you.

What can I expect during a visit to the outpatient clinic?
The experienced team at Florida Hearts takes a patient-centered approach to care. You can expect a comprehensive evaluation during each of your outpatient clinic visits.
The team first reviews your medical history and asks questions about your current treatment and symptoms. Then, they conduct a physical exam and may run diagnostic tests to assess the effectiveness of your treatment, such as a stress test or CT/PET scan.
The team reviews the findings from your evaluation with you and adjusts your treatment plan as needed. They may also provide any necessary treatments on the same day as your clinic visit.
The goal of care through the outpatient clinic is to help you stay on top of your health, prevent complications, and improve your overall quality of life.
