When Advanced Diagnostics Are Needed
Advanced diagnostics are often recommended when a clearer picture of your heart health is needed. This could be because initial tests haven't provided definitive answers or because specific information is required to plan the best course of treatment. Some common scenarios include:
Inconclusive Results:
If basic tests like an ECG or echocardiogram raise concerns but don't provide a clear diagnosis, advanced diagnostics can offer more specific information.
Suspected Coronary Artery Disease: Advanced diagnostics can pinpoint blockages or narrowed arteries that may restrict blood flow to the heart.
Arrhythmias (Irregular Heartbeats):
An electrophysiology study can help identify the source of arrhythmias, allowing for tailored treatment options.
Types of Advanced Diagnostics
With our advanced technology, we ensure the highest accuracy in diagnostics, empowering informed treatment decisions. Plus, our commitment to transparent communication means you will be well-informed about procedures and results every step of the way.
Cardiac MRI:
Cardiac MRI is among the newest technologies for the evaluation of cardiovascular diseases.
Cardiac Catheterization:
During this minimally invasive procedure, a thin tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel and guided to the heart. This allows visualization of the heart's structures and blood flow. Different types of cardiac catheterization procedures offer specific information, such as coronary angiography, which reveals blockages in the coronary arteries.
Electrophysiology Study (EPS):
This procedure uses catheters with electrical stimulation to assess the heart's electrical activity and identify the source of arrhythmias. This information is crucial for guiding treatment decisions, such as medication or ablation procedures to correct the abnormal heart rhythm.
