Non-Invasive Cardiology
Non-invasive cardiology focuses on diagnosing and monitoring heart conditions without requiring surgical procedures. It plays a crucial role in the early detection, risk assessment, and management of cardiovascular diseases, ensuring patients receive timely and accurate care. At Aravali Clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art non-invasive cardiac tests to evaluate heart function, detect abnormalities, and guide treatment decisions.
Our non-invasive cardiac services include 2D Echo, Stress Echo, Dobutamine Stress Echo, Stress Test, Holter Monitoring, Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring, and ECG, all of which help in identifying heart-related conditions with precision and efficiency.
Our Non-Invasive Cardiology Services
- 2D Echocardiography (2D Echo)
2D Echo is a high-resolution ultrasound imaging test that provides a detailed view of the heart’s structure and function. It helps assess:
- Heart muscle strength
- Valve function
- Blood flow
- Congenital heart defects
This test is painless, quick, and highly effective in diagnosing various heart conditions, including heart failure, valve diseases, and cardiomyopathy.
- Stress Echocardiography
A stress echocardiogram evaluates how the heart functions under physical stress. It involves taking ultrasound images of the heart before and after exercise or medication-induced stress. This test helps in detecting:
- Coronary artery disease
- Blood flow abnormalities
- Heart muscle efficiency during exertion
It is particularly beneficial for patients with chest pain, shortness of breath, or those at risk of heart disease.
- Dobutamine Stress Echo
For patients who are unable to exercise, a Dobutamine Stress Echo is used as an alternative to a treadmill stress test. Dobutamine, a medication that stimulates the heart, is administered to mimic the effects of physical activity. This test helps in assessing:
- Heart muscle function
- Blood supply to the heart
- Potential blockages in coronary arteries
It is a safe and effective way to diagnose heart disease in patients who have mobility limitations.
- Stress Test (Treadmill Test – TMT)
A stress test, also known as a treadmill test, measures how well the heart performs during exercise. The patient walks or runs on a treadmill while their ECG, heart rate, and blood pressure are monitored. This test is essential for:
- Evaluating exercise tolerance
- Detecting irregular heart rhythms
- Identifying possible coronary artery disease
- Holter Monitoring
A Holter monitor is a portable ECG device that records heart activity for 24 to 48 hours. It is used to:
- Detect irregular heartbeats
- Monitor heart rate fluctuations
- Assess heart function during normal activities
This test is crucial for patients experiencing palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained fainting.
- Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)
ABPM is used to track blood pressure continuously over 24 hours, providing a more accurate assessment than a single reading. It helps in diagnosing:
- Hypertension
- Fluctuations in blood pressure throughout the day
- White coat hypertension
- Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)
An ECG is a simple, quick, and painless test that records the heart’s electrical activity. It is essential for diagnosing:
- Irregular heart rhythms
- Heart attacks
- Structural heart abnormalities
An ECG is often the first test conducted when a patient experiences chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath.
