ECG |
| |
This Measures the electric
activity of the heart. A change in the ECG
pattern can be indicative of presence of heart
disease. |

|
|
Stress Test |
| |
The Stress test provides
more information than a rest ECG since the
oxygen demand on your heart is greater while
exercising. |

Thallium Stress Test/
Nuclear Medicine Stress Test |
| |
1) It is a regular Stress
Test, but a dye is injected into the heart
and pictures are taken of the heart, before
and after the Stress Test. |
| |
2) This can detect areas
of the heart muscle that have been damaged
by a heart attack and areas that are not getting
enough oxygen due to
partial blockages of the coronary arteries. |

|
Echocardiography |
| |
This tests the pumping
action of the heart. It also helps to study
the motion of the heart valves that control
the flow of blood in and out of the heart.
During the test, sound waves are bounced off
the surface of the heart to produce a picture
on the screen. |

|
|
Coronary Angiography
|
| |
An angiogram is a specialized
X-ray test that monitors blood flow in the
arteries. The test can diagnose coronary artery
disease, which causes heart arteries to narrow
from fat or calcium build-ups on artery walls. |
