February 19, 2025
Experts at the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute are proud to announce that cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will now be offered at the Hillside Medical Center, part of UPMC Hanover.
“We are excited to add cardiac MRI testing to our array of services,” says Gagandeep Singh Gurm, MD, medical director of the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute, Southern Region. This represents a significant step forward in our commitment to offering state-of-the-art care to our patients. With cardiac MRI, we can better tailor treatments to individual needs and improve overall outcomes.”
When you refer a patient to our team for a cardiac MRI, they will receive the same level of advanced care offered at all our convenient locations across the region. Referrals for a cardiac MRI include patients who have previously suffered a heart attack and/or are experiencing:
- Chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting
- Cardiomyopathy, or heart muscle disease
- Ventricular arrhythmia, or a heart rhythm disorder that originates in your ventricles
- Congenital heart defects, or heart problems present at birth
- Blood clots or tumors in your heart
“Our mission is to provide expert care to patients in the communities where they live. Offering this service closer to home for patients who reside in the York and Hanover communities will eliminate their need to travel for the care they need,” says Kunal N. Bodiwala, MD, cardiologist at the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute.
