An Echocardiogram (ECHO) is a non-invasive test that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to create detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. This test helps doctors evaluate the heart’s chambers, valves, and blood flow, providing vital information about how well your heart is working.
Echocardiograms are commonly used to diagnose heart conditions such as:
An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a simple and painless test that records the electrical activity of your heart. It tracks the heart’s rhythm, electrical impulses, and timing, helping to detect irregularities in heartbeats or signs of heart disease.
An ECG can help diagnose:
Routine Monitoring: A standard ECG that records your heart's electrical activity while you are at rest, helping identify heart irregularities or conditions that might be affecting your heart rhythm.
Heart Function Under Stress: This test is performed while you walk on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bike, helping to evaluate how your heart responds to physical exertion and to identify issues like exercise-induced arrhythmias or coronary artery disease.
24/48-hour ECG Monitoring: A portable ECG device worn for 24 to 48 hours to monitor your heart's activity over an extended period. This test helps diagnose arrhythmias that may not show up during a standard ECG.
Congenital Heart Disease Screening: A specialized echocardiogram used to assess the heart of a developing fetus during pregnancy, often performed if there’s a family history of congenital heart defects or if the mother has certain health conditions that may affect the baby's heart.
