The Electrocardiogram, or EKG, is a non-invasive procedure which allows the doctors to examine the electrical activity of the heart. It shows valuable information regarding the situation of your heart such as the rhythm and the size of the heart, enabling doctors to find possible early signs to an existing or developing problem.

This procedure is safe and non-invasive due to the main principle on which it activates. Echocardiography uses ultrasounds in order to allow doctors to examine all four chambers of your heart, the heart valves, the great blood vessels entering and leaving the heart and the sac around the heart.

Due to its complex outcome of results, Echocardiography is mostly used when doctors detect an abnormal heart sound, such as a murmur, and need to set a specific diagnosis. They inspect the pumping capability of the heart and check for fluid around the heart if there is a case when a patient has symptoms such a shortness of breath.

A Duplex Carotid Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive procedure created specific for the examination of the carotid artery. The carotid arteries supply the brain with oxygen-rich blood and can be found on the lateral sides of the neck. The Duplex Carotid Ultrasound provides images depicting the structure of the carotid arteries, while the Doppler is used to determine the volume of the blood that flows through the arteries. Duplex Carotid Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves as a safe way to diagnose possible problems.

This procedure is used as an aid to diagnose the coronary artery disease. The Cardiac Stress Tests are mostly used in patients presenting a series of symptoms that may indicate the existence of CAD or in those that have underwent prior coronary revascularization. Moreover, Stress Tests are also used on patients who had a heart failure, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease or planned non-cardiac surgery. In addition, they can also be indicative of a new / progressive disease or for risk stratification.

The Doppler Test is a non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound to determine and measure the blood flow through an artery or blood vessels. The results of the Doppler Test help diagnose a patient so our medical specialists can provide the proper treatment. The Doppler Test can detect problems such as blockages in veins (Deep Vein Thrombosis), Arteriosclerosis and many more.

Nuclear Stress Tests are used with the purpose of determining if a patient suffers from coronary blockages (stenosis), scarring or normal perfusion, function and viability. The process of determining such medical problems implies comparing the blood flow under two circumstances: at stress and at rest. When a patient is at rest, the blood flow is typically normal, even if there is a possible blockage. However, when at stress, blood flow in a problematic artery is significantly reduced. Nuclear Stress Test is a safe, non-invasive procedure which also helps measuring the function of the heart muscle, hence possibly predict further developing issues.

The pacemaker is recommended in patients who have abnormal heart rate. It is a small device which is inserted in the patient's upper chest region, near the left shoulder and intervenes by stimulating the heart if it is beating too slowly. The device is designated for permanents usage and it's also used for monitoring the heartbeat.

Cardiac Catherization, also known as Coronary Angiogram, is a procedure that measures the pressures inside the heart, monitor how well the heart is pumping and evaluate the arteries which deliver blood to the heart. This procedure can help in diagnosing a problem and therefore choosing the best treatment.

The Holter Monitor is a portable device, worn for different periods of time depending of the condition, which can help in monitoring the heart in order to enable the doctor to choose a better path for treatment. The device keeps records of the heartbeat, the electrical impulses passing through the heart and the cardiac rhythm.
