What Are the Cardiac Testing Types?
Cardiac testing comprises various medical tests and procedures used to evaluate the health and function of the heart. These tests help diagnose heart conditions, assess risk factors, monitor ongoing heart issues, and guide treatment plans. Some of the tests include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Electrocardiograms: This test measures the heart's electrical activity for irregular rhythms (arrhythmia).
- Echocardiogram: An ultrasound of the heart that assesses its valves and chambers.
- Stress Tests: An evaluation of how the heart performs under physical stress.
- Heart Monitors: This test evaluates for underlying abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
What Does Cardiac Testing Monitor?
Our testing and diagnostics are intended to assess your cardiovascular system’s current condition and detect and monitor the following heart- and cardio-related conditions:
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
The narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries due to plaque buildup (or atherosclerosis), leading to severe chest pain or a heart attack.
Heart Failure
A condition caused by the buildup of fluid that makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood through the body effectively, often leading to other complications.
Valvular Heart Disease
Issues with the heart valves, such as narrowing or leaking, that put strain and stress on the heart and make it work harder.
Arrhythmia
Irregular, unhealthy heartbeats, such as atrial fibrillation, can increase the risk of conditions like stroke, heart failure, or cardiac arrest.
Hypertension
Chronic or severe high blood pressure that can lead to heart disease and increase the risks of heart attacks, heart failure, and strokes.Protect Your Cardio Health With Us
