1. Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG): Mapping Electrical Activity

An Electrocardiogram measures the electrical activity of the heart, providing crucial insights into rhythm irregularities, identifying abnormalities, and aiding in the diagnosis of various cardiac conditions.

2. Echocardiography: Visualizing Heart Structures

Echocardiography utilizes sound waves to create detailed images of the heart’s structure and function. This non-invasive procedure allows for a comprehensive evaluation of chambers, valves, and blood flow, assisting in the diagnosis of heart diseases.

3. Stress Testing: Assessing Heart Performance

Stress testing evaluates the heart’s response to exertion, uncovering potential issues that may not be apparent at rest. This diagnostic tool aids in identifying coronary artery disease, evaluating exercise tolerance, and guiding treatment decisions.

4. Holter Monitoring: Continuous Heart Rhythm Analysis

Holter monitoring involves wearing a portable device that records continuous heart rhythm over a set period. This diagnostic tool is valuable for detecting irregularities not captured during a standard ECG, providing a more comprehensive view of heart activity.

5. CT Angiography and MRI: Advanced Imaging Techniques

Computed Tomography (CT) Angiography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provide detailed images of the heart and blood vessels, as well as the blood flow. These non-invasive imaging techniques aid in diagnosing structural abnormalities, assessing cardiac function, and planning interventions.
