Diagnostic Services
What are Diagnostic Services?
Diagnostic services in cardiology involve non-invasive and minimally invasive tests that allow us to evaluate your heart's condition. These tests help our physicians detect any abnormalities, assess heart function, and identify potential risks early on. With precise diagnostics, we can offer better, more targeted treatments to improve your heart health and overall well-being.
Our Comprehensive Diagnostic Tests
We offer a wide range of diagnostic tests to assess heart function and detect cardiovascular diseases. Here are some of the key services available at Orlando Heart and Vascular:
Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)
A test that measures the electrical activity of your heart, helping us identify irregular heart rhythms, heart attacks, and other heart conditions.
Echocardiogram
A non-invasive ultrasound of the heart provides detailed images of your heart’s structure and function, helping to diagnose heart disease or evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.
Stress Testing (Exercise or Chemical)
A test that evaluates how well your heart functions during physical stress or under the influence of medications, helping to detect heart disease and determine safe levels of exercise.
Holter Monitoring
A portable device worn by the patient to continuously monitor heart activity over 24 to 48 hours, helping detect irregular heartbeats or arrhythmias.
Nuclear Cardiology
A diagnostic imaging method that uses small amounts of radioactive material to assess blood flow to the heart, often used to evaluate heart damage or detect coronary artery disease.
