What Is an EKG?
An Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) is a non-invasive test that measures the electrical activity of your heart. This simple test can detect heart conditions by analyzing the timing and duration of each heartbeat’s electrical phase. During an EKG, electrode sensors are placed on your skin to record the heart’s electrical signals, which are then displayed as wave patterns on a monitor.
EKGs are essential for diagnosing various heart conditions, such as arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, and heart attacks. By identifying irregularities in your heart’s rhythm and function, our specialists can develop an effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treadmill Stress Test
Also known as an exercise test, a Treadmill Stress Test evaluates how your heart performs under physical exertion. This test is crucial for identifying how well your heart handles work and can reveal issues such as reduced blood supply to your heart muscle. During the test, you will exercise on a treadmill while your heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and fatigue levels are monitored.
Our specialists at Cardiac and Vascular Consultants use this information to determine safe levels of physical activity for you and to detect any potential cardiac issues that might need further investigation or intervention.
Holter Monitor
The Holter Monitor is a portable device that continuously records your heart’s electrical activity over 24 to 48 hours or longer, depending on your doctor’s recommendation. This test is particularly useful for capturing irregular heart rhythms that might not appear during a standard EKG.
Worn comfortably around your waist, the Holter Monitor allows you to go about your daily activities while providing valuable data for our cardiologists. This information helps us understand your heart’s activity over extended periods, enabling more accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.
