Common Cardiac Tests
Stress Echocardiogram
What is a Stress Echocardiogram?
A treadmill stress test, combined with echocardiography (an ultrasound of the heart), helps detect early signs of coronary artery disease. During this test, you will exercise on a treadmill while your heart’s activity and function are monitored. After exercise, if parts of your heart aren’t getting enough blood, they may not contract normally, indicating potential blockages in the coronary arteries. This test reveals these issues by examining changes in your heart’s activity and function during exertion.

Coronary Angiogram
What is a Coronary Angiogram?
A coronary angiogram is a diagnostic test that helps doctors determine if your coronary arteries, which supply blood to your heart, are narrowed or blocked. It involves the use of a special dye and X-rays to create a detailed image of your heart’s arteries. Your doctor may recommend this test if you are suspected of having coronary artery disease.
