Advanced Heart Tests and Procedures, Explained Clearly & Performed Safely
Heart tests and procedures help us understand how well your heart is functioning and identify problems early. Many people feel anxious about cardiac procedures due to lack of clear information or fear of complexity.
Our approach focuses on recommending only those tests and procedures that are clinically necessary, explaining each step clearly, and ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout the process.
01.
ECG & Cardiac Risk Assessment
An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart and helps detect rhythm abnormalities, past heart damage, and early warning signs of heart disease.
Cardiac risk assessment combines ECG findings with medical history, lifestyle factors, and basic investigations to evaluate overall heart risk and guide further care if required.
02.
Treadmill Test (TMT)
The treadmill test evaluates how the heart responds to physical exertion. It helps identify reduced blood flow to the heart, exercise-induced chest pain, or abnormal heart rhythms.
TMT is commonly recommended for individuals with chest discomfort, breathlessness, or those undergoing preventive heart evaluation based on risk factors.
03.
Echocardiography
Echocardiography uses ultrasound waves to create real-time images of the heart. It helps assess heart size, pumping function, valve movement, and blood flow.
This non-invasive test plays an important role in diagnosing structural heart problems and monitoring heart function over time.
04.
Coronary Angiography
Coronary angiography is a diagnostic procedure used to identify blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart.
It is recommended when there is strong evidence of coronary artery disease or high risk of heart attack, helping doctors plan appropriate treatment.
05.
Angioplasty & Stent Placement
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked heart arteries and restore blood flow. In many cases, a stent is placed to keep the artery open.
This procedure helps relieve chest pain, improve heart function, and reduce the risk of future cardiac events when performed at the right time.
06.
Preventive Heart Check-up Evaluations
Preventive heart check-ups are structured evaluations designed to detect heart disease at an early stage, even before symptoms appear.
These check-ups assess blood pressure, cholesterol, heart rhythm, and overall cardiovascular risk, supporting long-term heart health and timely preventive care.
Frequently Ask Questions
By Patients
1. Are all heart procedures painful or risky?
Most diagnostic heart tests are non-invasive and safe. Interventional procedures are recommended only when necessary and are performed using advanced techniques with patient safety as a priority.
2. Do I need all these tests for a heart check-up?
No. The choice of tests depends on your symptoms, age, medical history, and risk factors. Only relevant evaluations are recommended after proper consultation.
3. How long do cardiac tests usually take?
Basic tests like ECG and echocardiography usually take a short time. More advanced procedures may take longer, and patients are informed clearly about duration and preparation.
4. Are preventive heart check-ups useful if I feel fine?
Yes. Many heart conditions develop silently. Preventive evaluations help identify risks early and allow timely action before complications occur.
