Services Offered

• Echocardiogram: Using advanced ultrasound equipment, we produce precise images of the heart to assess its structure, including the chambers and valves, and evaluate its function. This diagnostic test is vital in identifying conditions such as heart disease, valve disorders, and cardiomyopathy.

• Electrocardiogram (ECG): By measuring the heart’s electrical activity with electrodes placed on the skin, this test provides essential information about heart rate, rhythm, and electrical patterns. It plays a key role in diagnosing abnormalities like arrhythmias, heart block, or signs of a previous heart attack.

• Holter Monitoring: This test involves continuous real-time recording of the heart’s electrical activity over 24 to 48 hours. It is particularly useful in detecting intermittent heart rhythm abnormalities, such as arrhythmias, that may not appear during a standard ECG. Holter monitoring is an invaluable tool for diagnosing transient cardiac issues.
