General Practitioners

Electrocardiogram
A Holter monitor may detect a disturbance in heart rhythm that is not evident on a single, resting electrocardiogram tracing. It allows the physician to correlate specific patient symptoms with the electrical activity of the heart. A Holter monitor can detect rhythm disturbances that are transient or intermittent in nature.

Internal Medicine
Dr. Krueger received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in June 1990. He completed his Internal Medicine Residency at Oregon Health Sciences University Portland, Oregon in June 1992. He was voted outstanding resident by his peers two consecutive years and offered membership in Alpha Omega Alpha, an honorary society reserved for the top 1% of residents. He completed his Fellowship in Cardiovascular Diseases and a subsequent Interventional Fellowship providing specialized training in cardiac catheterization and angioplasty at University of Colorado Health Sciences in June 1995. Dr. Krueger has been in private practice since February 2002. He is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Krueger is Board Certified in Cardiovascular Diseases.

Ultrasound
The test is performed by inserting a long flexible probe with an ultrasound transducer at its tip through the mouth and into the esophagus just behind the heart. The transducer send high frequency sound waves into the heart, which return as echoes. These echoes are converted into a real time image of the beating heart and blood flow through the chambers and valves. The images are displayed on a video monitor and are recorded on videotape or disk.
MRI
MRI scanners can interrupt the pacing function of pacemakers. This problem can often be circumvented by special programming of the pacemaker.
Radiology
Removal of the catheter: When the angiogram is completed, the doctor will remove the catheter from your blood vessel. He/she will apply pressure for 10-15 minutes over the catheter site to prevent bleeding. A band-aid will be placed on the insertion site. The angiogram usually takes one or more hours to complete. The radiology staff will always be nearby to keep you comfortable and answer any questions you may have.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
PET studies are convenient and easy for the patient. Scanning begins following the injection of the PET tracer Rubidium 82 which is rapidly taken up by heart muscle cells following the injection. While lying on a comfortable table, the patient moves through the scanner to obtain images of the heart. The entire procedure usually takes 45 minutes. This is compared to the 4-6 hours for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy for cancers can damage the circuits of a pacemaker, and the pacemaker needs to be shielded from the radiation field.

Lesions
Segmental pressures are a non-invasive measurement of bilateral leg pressures with blood pressure cuffs and a Doppler/PPG prove ultrasound detector. The cuffs and Doppler/PPG probe ultrasound identify and quantify significant obstructive arterial lesions in the legs. In other words, the test assists in identifying the possible location of narrowing and/or blockage of the arterial blood supply in the legs.
