During the cardiac consultation, the doctor will evaluate past medical history, and perform thorough physical examination and tests to assess the risk of developing heart diseases. Early diagnosis may have a better prognosis and minimize the complications.

The evaluation of hypertension involves accurately measuring the patient’s blood pressure, performing a focused medical history and physical examination, and obtaining results of routine laboratory studies.

A cardiac stress test is a cardiological test that measures the heart’s ability to respond to external stress in a controlled clinical environment, as exercise makes the heart pump harder and faster the stress response is induced by exercise or by intravenous pharmacological stimulation.  A stress test can reveal problems with blood flow within your heart.

An echocardiogram (echo) is a graphic outline of the heart’s movement.              During an echo test, ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) from a hand-held wand placed on your chest provides pictures of the heart’s valves and chambers and helps the sonographer evaluate the pumping action of the heart.

A Doppler ultrasound is a noninvasive test that can be used to estimate the blood flow through your blood vessels by bouncing high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) off circulating red blood cells.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple test that can be used to check your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity. Sensors are placed to the skin are used to detect the electrical signals produced by your heart each time it beats.
