Available Diagnostic Tools:
EKG:
1. EKG (Electrocardiogram):
A non-invasive test that provides insights into the heart’s electrical activity. The 12-lead EKG is a fundamental procedure that detects electrical impulses, arrhythmias, heart muscle abnormalities, and the overall function of the heart.
Echocardiogram (Heart Ultrasound):
An essential test that gives a clear picture of the heart's structure, function, and the size of major blood vessels. Using transthoracic 2D echocardiography, we can assess heart chamber size, wall thickness, pump function, valve condition, and movement disorders.
24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM):
This test helps diagnose high blood pressure and track its fluctuations over the course of a day. It is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of treatment and detecting conditions such as "white coat hypertension" or "masked" high blood pressure.
24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) - Indications:
The 24-hour blood pressure monitoring is a crucial diagnostic tool, especially for assessing various cardiovascular and health conditions. Here are the primary indications for this test:
- Diagnosis and Severity of Hypertension
- Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Antihypertensive Treatment
- Assessment of Conditions Associated with Loss of Consciousness or Dizziness
- Cardiovascular Risk Stratification
- Exclusion of "White Coat Hypertension" (where blood pressure is elevated in a medical setting but normal outside)
- Exclusion of "Masked Hypertension" (where blood pressure is normal in a medical setting but elevated at home or during daily activities)
- Exclusion of Certain Endocrinological Conditions
- Assessment for High-Risk Pregnancy
- Fitness Evaluations for Athletes
- Suspected Obstructive Sleep Apnea
This test provides continuous monitoring of blood pressure over 24 hours, offering a comprehensive view of blood pressure patterns during normal daily activities and sleep. It is essential for accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans.
24-Hour Holter EKG
A continuous EKG that records heart activity over 24 to 48 hours. This test is vital for identifying arrhythmias, evaluating treatment effectiveness, and investigating unexplained chest pain, dizziness, or fainting.
Upcoming: Oxygen Saturation Measurement
We will soon be offering oxygen saturation tests to assess your heart and lung health further.
