Cardiology additional procedures information
Coronary angiography
Angiographies are used to assess blood flow and pressure and to find restricted, obstructed, or deformed arteries. The interventional cardiologist inserts a catheter and then injects a specific dye into the veins. The doctor can check how the blood flows and discover any clogged arteries by using an X-ray equipment. The dye is eliminated through your kidneys and urine.
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is a test that measures the heart's pumping strength, and movement to assess overall heart and blood vessel function. The specialist uses a probe that emits high-frequency sound waves that bounce throughout the heart. The probe receives the echoes and converts them into a moving picture.
Electrocardiogram
EGC or EKG is a test that measures the electrical signal of the heart to identify arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, and to determine if you've had a heart attack or how well your pacemaker is performing. The doctor will place 12 electrodes on your chest that are linked to a monitor and will record the electrical activity.
Exercise stress test
A stress test is advised for diagnosing cardiac diseases such as coronary artery disease or a heart attack. The test is meant to examine how the heart handles work; thus, you will be walking on a treadmill that raises its pace and elevation during the test. The heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration will all be monitored by the cardiologist.
