Cardiac Diagnostics

Cardiac Services

 Cardiovascular diagnostic and screening tests can provide a wealth of information about the electrical activity of the heart, heartbeat rhythm, how well blood is pumping through the heart’s chambers and valves, how easily blood is flowing through the coronary arteries to the heart muscle, and whether there are tumors or abnormalities in the structure of the cardiovascular system.

CT Colonography

A cardiac CT (computed tomography) scan is a painless imaging test that uses x-rays to take detailed pictures of your heart and its blood vessels. Before this tests, you get an injection of contrast dye. The dye highlights your heart and blood vessels in the CT scan images.

This test can help us to detect or evaluate:

  • Coronary artery disease
  • Calcium buildup in the coronary arteries
  • Problems with the aorta
  • Problems with heart function and valves
  • Pericardial diseases

 

 Cardiac MRI

Cardiac MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a painless imaging test that uses radio waves, magnets, and a computer to create detailed pictures of your heart. In some cases we inject you a dye before tests which highlights your heart and blood vessels in the MRI scan images. It help us better diagnosis of your heart problem. A cardiac MRI also help your doctor decide the best way to treat heart problems such as:

    • Coronary artery disease
    • Heart valve problems
    • Pericarditis
    • Cardiac tumors
    • Damage from a heart attack
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)

    An electrocardiogram, also called an ECG or EKG, is a painless test that detects and records your heart’s electrical activity. It shows how fast your heart is beating and whether its rhythm is steady or irregular.
