INVESTIGATIONS FOR HEART DISEASE
LOOP RECORDER
This record is extensive and a Holter monitor recorded 14-28 days. For disposable electrodes attached chest. The data recorded in a loop of two minutes and the event is recorded for the last two minutes when the button is pressed event. This test is excellent for patients whose symptoms are very short or as a free consciousness that one time tracking pushed past two minutes saved.
ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY STUDY
Electrophysiology (EPS) studies use cardiac catheterization techniques to study patients with irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias call). Electrophysiology shows how the heart reacts to controlled electrical signals. These signals can help doctors determine where to start cardiac arrhythmia, and that the drugs will stop. Electrophysiology can also help doctors know which other catheter techniques could be used to terminate arrhythmias.
Electrophysiology uses electrical signals to help doctors know what type of arrhythmia you have and what can be done to prevent or control. Doctors performed a heart catheterization procedure in which a long tube, thin (called a catheter) is placed in a leg artery and threaded up to his heart. This catheter could be used to send electrical signals to the heart. Stimulate the heart to cause arrhythmia, doctors can record where in the heart, from its inception. In some cases, you may be given medication to induce an arrhythmia. Some medications can also be given through the catheter to see who will stop the arrhythmia.
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight on the evening before the test. Tell your doctor that the drugs you are taking, so he can decide to stop before the test. It can also be useful if you move the medicine is the procedure so doctors know exactly what you are using and how much. Probably blood tests, ECG, chest radiograph and taken before the procedure.
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
Echocardiography uses sound waves to produce an image of the heart and see how it works. Depending on the type of echocardiography test they use, doctors can learn about the size, shape and movement of your heart muscle. This test can also show how the heart valves are working and how blood flows in your heart. Echocardiography can also give doctors information about your arteries.
Echocardiography uses sound waves frequency (called ultrasound) that can provide a moving picture of your heart. Sound waves transmitted through the body of a wand like device called a transducer. Sound waves bounce off the heart and return to the transducer as echoes. They reflect converted into images on a television screen to produce images of your heart.
Dimensional echocardiography and M-mode ultrasound beam is aimed at heart. Doctors use the ultrasound M-mode to see only the left (or primary pumping chamber) of your heart. echocardiography gives a broader movement of your heart. dimensional echocardiography is one of the most important tools for diagnosing doctors. Doppler echocardiography measures the blood flow in the arteries and the model shows the flow through the heart.
