What is a stress ECG?

 

Depression ECG is an ECG that is performed while the patient is exercising on a treadmill. It allows your doctor to see how your heart is working under stress and to tell him how healthy your heart is.

What is a Stress Echocardiogram?

The stress echocardiogram allows for a more visual overview of your heart. An echocardiogram creates vertical and moving images of your heart as you relax by blowing sound waves from the heart from a device called a transducer. During a stress echocardiogram, an echocardiogram is performed at rest and again after a treadmill exercise. The information allows the physician to learn more about muscles, valves, and other heart structures.

What is transthoracic echocardiography?

It allows you to visualize the structure and function of your heart using ultrasound waves.

What is Holter Monitor?

 

A Holter monitor is a portable device that continuously monitors your heart's electrical activity for a day or more. Data is stored on the device for later updating. Doctors often use these devices when they suspect arrhythmia.

What is a pacemaker?

Cardiovascular Clinical Screening Services include clinical examination and examination of cardiac surgeons and defibrillators installed in patients.

A complete pacemaker test should be performed six weeks after the implantation of the pacemaker. The heart connector should be tested every 6/12 months to check battery performance.

Regular tracking is important after pacemaker implantation. Your doctor will tell you how often you need to be tested.
