General Practitioners

Electrocardiogram
An electrocardiogram (ECG) stress test monitors a person’s heartbeat at rest and during exercise, most commonly while a person walks on a treadmill. A physician observes the person, monitors the exercise level, and makes recordings until the person’s heart nears a maximum predicted heart rate. The heart also is monitored during the period of cool-down or recovery that immediately follows exercise. The recordings made before, during, and immediately after an ECG stress test can show subtle changes in the heart’s electrical activity.

Internal Medicine
Michael S. Pursley, M.D., F.A.C.C. Dr. Pursley, formerly associated with the Heart Group, PC in Mobile, is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Cardiology. He completed his medical residency at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and received his cardiology fellowship at the University of Kentucky. Dr. Pursley believes the key to good healthy living is patient education.
Lung Cancer
Cigarette smoking is a major cause of disease in the United States. According to the National Cancer Institute, more than 400,000 deaths occur each year as a result of cigarette smoking. And it’s not just from lung cancer and chronic pulmonary disease; smoking doubles the risk of developing coronary heart disease. Smoking also contributes to osteoporosis, skin wrinkling, peptic ulcers, impotence and problems with pregnancy.

Ultrasound
Echocardiography is a diagnostic test that uses ultrasound, or high-frequency sound waves, to create images of the heart. A transducer, or modified microphone, turns electrical energy into sound waves, which bounce off tissues in the heart and are recorded onto videotape or computer for later analysis. Echocardiography is primarily used to detect and assess the following: blocked coronary arteries; heart failure or cardiomyopathy (enlargement of the heart); congenital (present at birth) heart defects; damage from hypertension (high blood pressure); heart attack damage or scarring; pericardial disease (the membrane that surrounds the heart); and the function of the heart muscle, blood vessels, and valves.
Nuclear Medicine
The Heart Group of the Eastern Shore, PC is privileged to provide advanced cardiac care to the Gulf Coast Community, a community we are proud to call home. With offices in Fairhope and Spanish Fort, we are a cardiology practice that offers advanced cardiac care including in-depth patient workups, advanced diagnostic imaging (nuclear medicine and ultrasound), and lab work. The Heart Group of the Eastern Shore, PC hopes to provide these services in the most effective and convenient manner possible.
Chemotherapy
The goal of heart failure therapy is to lessen the effect of heart failure symptoms and to keep people with the condition out of the hospital. Heart failure caused by valve disease, toxins such as drugs used in chemotherapy, or congenital heart defects is often reversible. People with heart failure caused by permanently damaged or weakened heart muscle, however, require long-term lifestyle modification and medication. Heart failure therapy requires lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and reducing salt and fluid in the diet. These changes can improve the heart’s ability to function and may help people with weakened hearts feel stronger. Additionally, most people will need to take medications to manage the symptoms of living with a weakened heart for the rest of their lives. Physicians recommend that people take their medications at the same time each day and keep a record that includes the name of the medication, the dosage, the number of times per day the medication is taken, and the symptom or condition the medication is intended to treat.
