DIAGNOSTIC CARDIOLOGY

What is ECG – Electrocardiogram

ECG

A quick, painless test that records the electrical activity of the heart and helps detect abnormal rhythms, conduction problems, and signs of heart disease.

What is Echocardiography – ECHO

Echocardiography

An ultrasound examination of the heart that evaluates heart chambers, pumping function, heart valves, blood flow, and other structural abnormalities.

What is Exercise Stress Test (Treadmill Test)

Exercise Stress Test

A treadmill-based test used to assess how the heart responds to physical exercise and to evaluate selected patients for exercise-induced ischemia or abnormal heart rhythms.

What is Holter ECG

Holter ECG

A portable ECG monitor that continuously records the heart rhythm, usually for 24–72 hours or longer when necessary. It is particularly useful for investigating palpitations, dizziness, fainting, and intermittent arrhythmias.

What is Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring – ABPM

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring

A 24-hour blood pressure monitoring system that measures blood pressure during daily activities and sleep. It can help identify sustained hypertension, white-coat hypertension, masked hypertension, and abnormal nighttime blood pressure patterns.

What is TEE – Transesophageal Echocardiography?

TEE

A specialized ultrasound examination in which an ultrasound probe is gently passed into the esophagus to obtain highly detailed images of the heart and valves.

TEE is particularly useful for evaluating:

  • Heart valves
  • Blood clots inside the heart
  • ASD and PFO
  • Endocarditis
  • Structural heart disease
  • Patients being evaluated for procedures such as TAVI or transcatheter valve repair
