Comprehensive Investigations for Informed Decision-Making
To guide you towards the best possible care, our team employs a range of diagnostic investigations. These help us understand the unique aspects of your condition and tailor a treatment plan accordingly.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test reveals your heart's electrical activity, providing valuable insights into its functioning.
- Echocardiogram (TTE, Transesophageal): Utilizing sound waves, these tests create detailed images of your heart. TTE involves a probe on your chest, while transesophageal delivery involves a probe passed through your esophagus, allowing a closer look at your heart.
- Exercise Stress Test / Stress Doppler Echo: By increasing your heart's workload, this test helps detect any overload due to valve dysfunction.
- Cardiac Catheterization & Angiography: Essential for determining the percentage or extent of leakage or stenosis in heart valves. It can also identify coronary artery disease simultaneously.
- Chest X-ray: A common and non-invasive method to assess heart enlargement.
- Chest CT Scan / Cardiac MRI: Advanced technologies providing detailed insights into heart valve dysfunction and muscle issues.
