Cardiology Tests

An echocardiogram, also called 2D echo, makes use of high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to deliver live images of your heart. Your doctor can use this scan to monitor certain heart conditions by assessing the pumping chambers of the heart and examining how the valves of your heart are functioning. The images help determine the health of the heart muscle, especially after a heart attack.

An ECG or EKG is a non-invasive test that measures the electrical signals in your heart. During the test, several electrodes are placed on your chest, arms and legs. The electrodes are connected by wires to a machine that turns the heart’s signals and displays it as waves on a monitor or on paper. The test allows the doctor to check your heart’s rhythm, diagnose a heart attack, and check on anything abnormal, such as thickened heart muscle. Any change in an ECG can be a sign of many heart-related conditions. 

A stress echocardiogram, also called stress echo, is an imaging test that finds out how well your heart can tolerate a stressful activity. The test uses ultrasound waves to produce images of the heart’s structure before and after the stress. In this test, you will be asked to exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike, and your heart rhythm and blood pressure are monitored throughout the test. It helps assess symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and any abnormal heart rhythm.

A treadmill test (TMT), or a stress test, is an electrocardiogram (ECG) test performed on heart patients to know the severity of the heart disease. The patient may need to walk on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bicycle. It monitors breaths per minute, heartbeat, and blood pressure. The test is recommended for people who have symptoms of angina, people with a history of heart attack, and those who have been through bypass surgery.

A stress echo test is a non-invasive and effective way to determine how well your heart and blood vessels are functioning. In this test, a medication called dobutamine is used to stimulate your heart in a similar way as an exercise would do. The test provides vital information in assessing the state of your heart muscle and in the detection of coronary artery disease. The test helps to deliver high-quality images without any interference of deep breathing and muscle tremors.
