After seeing a rise in patients who have recovered from COVID-19 and now have heart issues, Ochsner Health Center - O'Neal in Baton Rouge, La., has added to its cardiology diagnostics program, local NBC affiliate WVLA-TV reported June 10.
The expansion, part of a larger $4.8 million renovation project at the facility, provided the diagnostics center with additional equipment for echocardiograms, stress echocardiograms and vascular ultrasounds.
As a result, patients will get faster diagnoses and wait less time for treatment, an Ochsner spokesperson told the news outlet.
