Our Cardiology tests:
The diagnostic tests in cardiology are methods of identifying heart conditions associated with healthy versus unhealthy, pathologic heart function.The cardiology tests available in this facility include:
2D ECHO with color Doppler
An Echo is a noninvasive test that uses sound waves to evaluate the heart chambers and valves, as well as pumping function. The echo waves create an image on the monitor as an ultrasound probe is passed across the skin of the heart.
This test records the electrical activity of the heart, shows abnormal rhythms and can detect heart muscle damage.
Exercise 12-lead ECG
This test is done to monitor the heart while you walk on a treadmill. The doctor monitors your breathing and blood pressure. A stress test may be used to detect coronary artery disease, or to determine safe levels of exercise after a heart attack or heart surgery.
For this test, you ware a small, portable, battery powered ECG machine to record heart beats over a period of 24 to 48 hours during normal activities. At the end of the time period, you will return the monitor to the doctor so it can be read and evaluated.
