Electrocardiogram (ECG)

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a medical test that detects cardiac (heart) abnormalities by measuring the electrical activity generated by the heart as it contracts.

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY (ECHO)

An echo uses sound waves to create pictures of your heart's chambers, valves, walls and the blood vessels.

DOBUTAMINESTRESS ECHO / STRESS ECHO / TMT

A stress echocardiography, also called an echocardiography stress test or stress echo, is a procedure that determines how well your heart and blood vessels are working.

Twenty-four hour Holter monitoring

Twenty-four hour Holter monitoring is a continuous test to record your heart’s rate and rhythm for 24 hours.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is when your blood pressure is measured as you move around, living your normal daily life.

A carotid Doppler is an imaging test that uses ultrasound to examine the carotid arteries located in the neck.

CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY

Coronary angiography is a procedure that uses contrast dye, usually containing iodine, and x ray pictures to detect blockages in the coronary arteries that are caused by plaque buildup.

CT Coronary Angiography

A computerized tomography (CT) coronary angiogram is an imaging test that looks at the arteries that supply blood to your heart. It might be done to diagnose the cause of chest pain or other symptoms

CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY

A coronary angioplasty is a procedure used to widen blocked or narrowed coronary arteries.

PERMANENT PACEMAKER IMPLANTATION

A pacemaker is a small device that's placed under the skin in your chest to help control your heartbeat. It's used to help your heart beat more regularly if you have an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), particularly a slow one. Implanting a pacemaker in your chest requires a surgical procedure.

AICD

The automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD) is a device designed to monitor the heartbeat and to deliver shock to normalize the heart rhythm.

CARDIAC RESYNCHRONIZATION THERAPY

CRT is a clinically proven treatment option for some individuals with heart failure. A CRT device sends small electrical impulses to both lower chambers of the heart to help them beat together in a more synchronized pattern.

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY (EP) STUDY

An electrophysiology (EP) study is a test performed to assess your heart's electrical system or activity and is used to diagnose abnormal heartbeats or arrhythmia.

RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a procedure used to put the heart back into normal rhythm. During RFA, a thin wire sends heat to fix problem areas that cause abnormal heart beats.

TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT (TAVR)

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive heart procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly (aortic valve stenosis).

VALVE REPLACEMENT

This means that the surgeon opens your chest and heart to remove the damaged valve.

This means that the surgeon opens your chest and heart to repair the defective heart valve.
