Founded in 1975 by Dr. Jerome Hantman, what is now Cardiovascular Specialists of Central Maryland, P.A. has grown to be the single largest cardiology practice based in Howard County, with 9 Board-Certified Cardiologists, 2 Physician Assistants, and over 40 clinical and administrative support staff. We offer a full range of personalized consultative and diagnostic cardiovascular care, including:
- Adult cardiac consultations and follow-up care
- Exercise and pharmacologic cardiac stress testing
- Nuclear cardiology testing (accredited by ICANL1)
- Echocardiography (accredited by ICAEL1), transesophageal echo and stress echo
- EKGs (electrocardiograms)
- Holter and event monitoring (24-hour and 30-day EKGs)
- Carotid and peripheral vascular ultrasound testing (accredited by ICAVL1)
- Coumadin (anti-coagulation) clinic
- Device (pacemaker and ICD) clinic
1 The accreditation of our nuclear cardiology, echocardiography, and vascular ultrasound programs by the respective Intersocietal Commission accrediting bodies (ICANL, ICAEL and ICAVL), which is awarded to such programs only after a rigorous review of our policies, procedures, and study technical quality and professional interpretation accuracy, assures referring physicians and patients of Cardiovascular Specialists’ high standards and expertise in cardiovascular diagnostic testing modalities.
We also offer complete interventional cardiac care, including cardiac catheterization, interventional coronary procedures and interventional peripheral vascular procedures. As part of our commitment to being on the forefront of current developments in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, Cardiovascular Specialists of Central Maryland has a full-time clinical research department that is currently conducting over a dozen clinical research trials.
In July 2009, we moved to a new, modern office in the Medical Pavilion at Howard County, on the campus of Howard County General Hospital. Our new facilities allow us to continue to provide state-of-the art cardiovascular care in an efficient, attractive and comfortable environment for our patients.
In 2005, Cardiovascular Specialists opened a satellite office for consultative and follow-up services in Elkridge.
In 2004, Cardiovascular Specialists implemented a state-of-the-art, cardiology-specific EMR (Electronic Medical Record) system that makes a patient's clinical chart available instantly to his or her cardiologist at any time of day or night, offering our patients increased efficiency and responsiveness.
