Our Cardiac Services

ECHO - Echocardiography:

Diagnostic cardiology – Echocardiogram – The use of ultrasound radiations to generate images of the heart is known as Echo Cardiogram. The process is non-internal and hassle-free.

• Non-Invasive Cardiology.
• Great team of consultants reporting.
• Dedicated technology by renowned brands like Canon.
• Echocardiogram reports are available on the same day.

Colour Doppler:

It is a diagnostic test which uses ultrasound waves to create an image of the heart muscle and shows the size, shape and movement of the heart’s valves and chambers as well as the blood flow through the heart. We offer

• Non-Invasive Cardiology.
• Great team of consultants reporting.
• Dedicated technology by renowned brands like Canon.
• Patients must bring all previous diagnostic or operative reports and films.

Electrocardiogram - ECG.

Diagnostic cardiology – Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test which detects the problems with the electrical activity of the heart. Patients must bring all previous diagnostic or operative reports and films.

Treadmill Test - TMT.

TMT test is an evaluation procedure to assess overall heart health. During this test, patients are evaluated based on how far they can run on a treadmill before experiencing irregular heart rhythms or reduced blood supply to the heart.

TMT test for heart may be recommended for various reasons, including the assessment of cardiac function. It's often suggested for patients with diabetes who may be at risk of developing cardiac problems. Additionally, individuals with a history of heart diseases or those who have undergone cardiac treatments might also be advised to undergo the TMT test.

Some of the common uses of the TMT test may include the following:

• Identifying cardiac muscle or valve problems
• Assessing the adequacy of blood supply to the heart
• Evaluating the efficiency of blood pumping by the heart
• Diagnosing symptoms of coronary artery diseases

HOLTER Monitoring Service.

A Holter monitor is a wearable device and type of ambulatory electrocardiogram that records your heart’s rhythm and rate activity. It gives your provider a full picture of what your heart rhythm and rate does as you go about your life.

This monitor is:

• Small, about the size of a cell phone.
• Battery operated.
• Equipped with wires and electrodes (small patches) that stick to your skin.

A Holter monitor records your heart’s electrical activity for 24 / 48 / 72 hours or may be more depending on the patent requirement. While you wear it, you continue to do your regular daily activities. 

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring - ABPM.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is a diagnostic test to determine the presence of hypertension by taking measurements during normal daily activities, over a span of 24 consecutive hours. It helps to diagnose as well as monitor high blood pressure, usually defined as a systolic pressure of 140 mm Hg or more and a diastolic pressure of 90 mm Hg or more.

The instrument used is a portable blood pressure machine worn as a belt, with the cuff being attached around the upper arm. All types of daily activities, including sleep, may be normally carried out while wearing this device.

ECG, HOLTER AND ABPM TEST ARE AVAILABLE AT YOUR DOOR STEPS ALSO

Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurologists treat conditions that affect the nervous system, which includes the brain, spine, and nerves. Neurological diseases can include headaches, epilepsy, stroke, movement disorders, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and many others.

Diagnostic Tests for Neurological Disorders:

Electroencephalogram – EEG.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp. EEGs are done to diagnose and monitor seizure disorders.

Electromyography – EMG.

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells.

Nerve Conduction Velocity – NCV.

Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) tests measure the electrical activity of muscles and nerves.

Visual Evoked Potential – VEP.

A visual evoked potential or visual evoked response (VEP or VER) is a test that measures the integrity of the optical pathway from your eyes to the occipital lobe of your brain. It is used to determine if there is any damage to this pathway.

Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry – BERA.

Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry is a test to measure the brain wave activity that occurs in response to clicks or certain tones. The machine will record the electrical response of the auditory nerve to the clicking sound.

PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST

Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) are tests that show how well your lungs are working. The tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. This information can help your healthcare provider diagnose and decide the treatment of certain lung disorders.

There are several types of disorders that cause problems with air moving in and out of the lungs:

• Obstructive. This is when air has trouble flowing out of the lungs because of airway resistance. This causes slower flow of air.
• Restrictive. This is when the lung tissue or chest muscles can’t expand enough. This creates problems with air flow, mostly because you have less lung volume.

PFTs measure:

• Tidal volume. This is the amount of air breathed in or out during normal breathing.
• Minute volume. This is the total amount of air breathed out per minute.
• Vital capacity. This is the total volume of air that can be breathed out after breathing in as much as you can.
• Functional residual capacity. This is the amount of air left in lungs after breathing out normally.
• Residual volume. This is the amount of air left in the lungs after breathing out as much as you can.
• Total lung capacity. This is the total volume of the lungs when filled with as much air as possible.
• Forced vital capacity (FVC). This is the amount of air breathed out forcefully and quickly after breathing in as much as you can.
• Forced expiratory volume. This is the amount of air breathed out during the first, second, and third seconds of the FVC test.
• Forced expiratory flow. This is the average rate of flow during the middle half of the FVC test.
• Peak expiratory flow rate. This is the fastest rate that you can force air out of your lungs.

Normal values for PFTs vary from person to person. The amount of air breathed in and out in your test results are compared with the average for someone of the same age, height, sex, and race. Results are also compared with any of your past test results. You may need other tests if you have abnormal PFT measurements or if your results have changed.
