Cardiology testing
During your visit, your cardiologist may recommend tests to help with understanding your condition. Common tests include:
- EKG (electrocardiograms) determine heart rhythm and are used as a screeing tool for coronary artery disease.
- Exercise treadmill tests provide a continuous EKG recording of the heart as you perform increasing levels of exercise. This is used to screen for abnormal heart rhythms.
- Echocardiograms (ultrasound of the heart) evaluate structural diseases of the heart, including heart and valve function.
- Stress imaging tests add additional test components to a treadmill test. Occasionally, a drug that stimulates exercise is used instead of the actual physical activity. Common stress imaging tests include stress echocardiogram and stress nuclear testing.
- Holter and event monitoring records heart rhythms and is used to screen for abnormal rhythms or symptoms over a period of time.
- Coronary angiograms visualize the coronary arteries and determine if there are areas where arteries are narrowing.
- Electrophysiology studies map the electrical activity of the heart to determine the cause of arrhythmias.
Cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation
When combined with medical treatment, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation will help you reach your optimum level of health. You will receive ongoing education about making healthy lifestyle choices and engage in a safe, monitored exercise program.
